Economic Woman: Gendering Economic Inequalityin the Age of Capital
Frances Raday
Thomas Piketty recently explored the global impact of spiralling inequality in his bookCapital in the Twenty-First Century. This new book aims to address a key area not covered by Piketty: the gender impact of inequality in patrimonial capitalism.
Global shifts in the gender distribution of maintenance, property, income and care are producing a new profile of economic woman, and changes in economic exigencies pose a challenge for women in both the developed and the developing worlds. This book puts forward measures for achieving transformative equality, which are based not only on theoretical arguments but also on empirical studies of good practice. It offers cutting edge conceptual analysis and feasible policies for developing women's capabilities for full participation and opportunity in economic life.
