About this Book

This edited volume maps new advances in theories and
practices in feminist economics and the valuation of women, care and
nature since Marilyn Waring’s groundbreaking critique of the system of
national accounts, If Women Counted
(1988). It features theoretical, practical and policy oriented
contributions, empirical studies, and new conceptualizations,
theorizations and problematizations of defining and accounting for the
value of nature and unpaid household work, eco-feminism, national and
international policy processes, gender budgeting, unpaid care and
HIV/AIDS policy, activism and artwork, and mirrors the wide-ranging
impact and resonance of Waring’s work as well as the current frontiers
of feminist economics.
