ABSTRACT

This article outlines core tenets of feminist economics and contrasts these tenets with traditional neoclassical economic assumptions about human nature, value, markets, inequality, and power. Further, it challenges the Voluntary National Content Standards in Economics and the C3 Framework for their exclusion of any perspective beyond the neoclassical paradigm while exposing the deleterious consequences of this paradigm, including its promotion of neoliberal policies; its opposition to democratic ideals; its exclusion of topics related to race, class, and gender; and its problematic assertions about human welfare. The article concludes with alternative ways of thinking about economics that might encourage teachers to question the prevailing neoclassical dominant narrative with a feminist counter narrative.

摘要

本文概述了女权主义经济学的核心宗旨，并将这些宗旨与关于人性，价值，市场，不平等和权力的传统新古典经济学假设进行了对比。此外，它挑战了《经济学中的国家自愿性内容标准》和C3框架他们排除了新古典主义范式之外的任何观点，同时揭露了这种范式的有害后果，包括促进新自由主义政策；它反对民主理想；排除与种族，阶级和性别有关的主题；以及有关人类福祉的有争议的主张。本文以经济学的另一种思考方式作为结尾，这可能会鼓励教师用女性主义的反叙述来质疑当时流行的新古典主导叙述。
