The under-representation of women in political participation gained root due to the patriarchal practice inherent in our society, much of which were obvious from pre-colonial era till date. Level: beginner Women Participation – Women Contribution to Economics and Politics Mary Otunba Exploring Economics The goal of this course is to explore these differences in economic outcomes observed among women and men, measured by such things as earnings, income, hours of work, poverty, and the allocation of resources within the household.

In the graveyard of economic ideology, dead ideas still stalk the land.

The recent financial crisis laid bare many of the assumptions behind market liberalism—the theory that market-based solutions are always best, regardless of the problem. For decades, their advocates dominated mainstream economics, and their influence created a system where an unthinking faith in markets led many to view speculative investments as fundamentally safe. 2012 Level: beginner Zombie Economics John Quiggin Princeton University Press This article is the first of a series that offers a new paradigm for economics, the “multilevel paradigm,” using generalized Darwinism as its theoretical framework. Generalized Darwinism refers to all processes that combine the ingredients of variation, selection, and replication – not just genetic evolution – making it relevant to the cultural evolution of economic systems that are embedded in political, social, and environmental systems. 2024 Level: advanced Rethinking the Theoretical Foundation of Economics I: The Multilevel Paradigm David Sloan Wilson and Dennis J. Snower De Gruyter Open Access / Zeitschrift Economics, Band 18, Heft 1 Though apparently siblings from the same family, New Keynesianism and Post-Keynesianism are completely different schools of economic thought. As to why and in what regard exactly, that is what this book is all about. While the former is the official label of the current mainstream in economic research and teaching (rather than neoclassic economics, which would be more apt a term), the latter tries to preserve the original thinking of John Maynard Keynes, but also additional ideas and concepts of all those building on his work. 2009 Level: beginner Introduction to Post-Keynesian Economics Marc Lavoie Palgrave Macmillan UK Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) and Feminist Economics make a conjoint statement: The way we see the economic system has nothing to do with human beings nor those who have been surviving outside the market. 2015 Level: beginner Decolonial Feminist Economics: A Necessary View for Strengthening Social and Popular Economy Viewpoint Magazine Medium Economics has long been the domain of the ivory tower, where specialized language and opaque theorems make it inaccessible to most people.

Although some of these women were well known in their time, they were excluded from most of academic economics, and, over the past centuries, their work has been neglected, forgotten, and thus become invisible. 2022 Level: beginner A Herstory of Economics Edith Kuiper Wiley Mainstream economics almost completely ignores the role power plays in determining economic outcomes, which means it can only provide partial explanations of the distribution of wealth and income, and of the problems associated with inequality and poverty. 2016 Level: advanced Power and Neoclassical Economics Ozanne, Adam Palgrave Pivot This volume explores the relationship between law and economics principles and the promotion of social justice.

Leonardo Conte Rethinking Economics Switzerland Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, there has been an unprecedented move towards 'rethinking economics' due to the damages generated by the global financial crisis that burst in 2007-2008. Almost a decade after this crisis, policy is still unable to provide all citizens greater wellbeing or at least an encouraging economic future. 2017 Level: advanced A Modern Guide to Rethinking Economics Louis-Philippe Rochon, Sergio Rossi Edward Elgar Publishing Noneconomists often think that economists' approach to race is almost exclusively one of laissez-faire. Racism, Liberalism, and Economics argues that economists' ideas are more complicated. 2009 Level: advanced Race, Liberalism, And Economics Colander, David; Prasch, Robert E.; Shetz, Falguni A.
