Scandalous Economics: Gender and the Politics of Financial Crises
ISBN: 9780190204235 / Angielski / Twarda / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Scandalous Economics is about "silences" - the astonishing neglect of gender and race in explanations of the Global Financial Crisis. But, it is also about "noises" - the sexual scandals and gendered austerity policies that have relegated public debate, and the crisis itself,...
