A Feminist Political Economic Framework
نویسنده
چکیده
FPE deconstructs and reframes basic neo-liberal assumptions and in the process refocuses economic theory and constructs alternatives. It uses a political economic approach, which is “the study of society as an integrated whole.” This approach identifies and analyzes “social relations as they relate to the economic system of production” (Drache 1978 as quoted in Bezanson and Luxton 2006, 12). A political economic approach contrasts with a simply economic approach which focuses on supply and demand of goods and services within a free market system.
