Editorial Reviews
Review
Nelson brings some of the most intriguing insights of two decades of feminism thoery to bear on Rational Man, the invisibility of women's economic production, scientistic methodologies, ineffectual standards for maximizing objectivity, and other problematic aspects of contemporary economic theorizing. This book makes an important contribution to the current flourishing of this bold new field of feminist researchers and scholars in many disciplines and in economic policy.
