PRINCIPLES OF FEMINIST ECONOMICS Copy

By pointing out the key differences between the neoclassical and feminist paradigm, we can observe substantial differences and also many aspects that have been traditionally neglected in economic theories. In 1998, Geoff Schneider and Jena Shackelford proposed 10 principles of feminist economics as an antidote to the widely proclaimed principles of economics of the time, such as those of Gregory Mankiw. A professor of economics at Harvard, Mankiw brought a review of ten economic principles in his book Principles of Economics. By contrasting those principles, Schneider and Shackelford brought a feminist alternative which questioned the universally accepted principles. The complete list of principles is included in the long version of the article.
