ABSTRACT
This chapter reflects on the conceptual implications of Canadian feminist political economy for the study of health and healthcare. The analysis is organized as follows. The first section articulates Canadian political economy as a particular stream of political economy. The next section focuses on the distinctive path of Canadian feminist political economy and outlines some of its key intellectual insights. The chapter then turns to address some of the distinctive repercussions of this current for comprehending healthcare, and how it fills gaps in the existing literature on the topic. By doing so, I argue that health and care work is a rich empirical space within which to further refine and expand research in feminist political economy. The final section concludes by summarizing the primary points arising from the chapter.
