Kuiper, Edith, 1960- author.

A herstory of economics / Edith Kuiper.

Cambridge, UK ; Medford, MA : Polity Press, 2022.

x, 214 pages ; 23 cm

In this book, economist Edith Kuiper shows us that the history of economic thought is just that, a his-story, by telling the herstory of economic thought from the perspective of women economic writers and economists. Although some of these women were well known in their time, they were excluded from most of academic economics, and, over the past centuries, their work has been neglected, forgotten, and thus become invisible. Kuiper introduces the reader to an amazing crowd of female pioneers and reveals how their insights are invaluable to understanding areas of economics ranging from production, work, and the economics of the household, to income and wealth distribution, consumption, public policy, and much more. This book presents a whole new perspective on the development of economic thought. --From publisher's description.
