ABSTRACT
Most of the applications of feminist economics in the preceding chapters have focused, in one way or another, on family issues. This is perhaps not surprising, since making family issues visible has been an important part of the feminist agenda. The one application that has not focused on families (Chapter 4) has been in an area considered by most economists to be outside of the core of the discipline (i.e., the history of economics). But what does feminist economics have to say about other areas of economics considered more central, beyond the general criticism of narrow micro-models voiced earlier?
