ABSTRACT
Within heterodox economics, the household has been conceptualized as an expenditure and financial unit; as a part of production and monetary circuits; as the relations of the reproduction of labor power; as a source of macroeconomic growth, stability, and instability; as a site of exploitation; as a through-time producer; as an entity understood and formed through colonial relations; as the site of and an actor in global production and financial remittances; and a combination of these scopes (O’Hara 1995; Elson 1998; Hanmer & Akram-Lodhi 1998; Peterson 2003; Charusheela & Danby 2006; Fraad et al. 2009; Todorova 2009; Safri & Graham 2010; Hewitson 2013). Both inter- and intra-household relations have received attention at the empirical and conceptual levels, especially within feminist and Marxian-feminist economics (Robeyns 2005; Fraad et al. 2009).
