This volume presents a comprehensive analysis of the linkages
between inequality, development, and growth from a feminist
economics perspective. More specifically, it examines connections
between intergroup inequality and macroeconomic outcomes,
considering various channels through which gender, growth, and
development interact. Using a range of analytical methods, country
studies, and levels of aggregation, the contributors argue that
inequalities based on gender, race, ethnicity, and class undermine
the ability of people to provision and live fully to their
capabilities. Authors examine the effect of macroeconomic policies
and economic growth on inequalities in material resources and
well-being, as well as the effects of inequality on economic
growth. The volume offers specific explanations for how the
macroeconomy can hinder the achievement of gender equality and in
turn how gender relations in areas like education and wage gaps can
have macro-level impacts. Finally, the volume offers a rich array
of policy options for promoting gender equality as both an
intrinsic goal and a step toward improving well-being and
broadly-shared development. This book was published as a special
issue of Feminist Economics.

Economic and financial crises have become perennial features of
today's global economy. Macroeconomic theories of crisis, including
the global crisis that unfolded in 2008, emphasize the role of
financial deregulation; capital flow imbalances; and growing debt,
fueled by income and wealth inequality. These approaches tend to be
divorced from feminist thinking which analyzes broader
distributional dynamics transmitted through structural channels and
government policy responses, with an emphasis on gender, race,
class and ethnicity. This volume brings together innovative
thinking from heterodox macroeconomists and feminist economists to
explore the causes, consequences, and ramifications of economic
crises. By doing so, it highlights aspects of the economy that are
frequently overlooked or ignored, such as the impact of crises on
the vast amount of unpaid work which women perform relative to men.
The collection of international studies assembled here takes an
innovative approach to analyzing a range of issues, from the
subprime mortgage crisis to the gendered effects of austerity to
the role of the International Monetary Fund in governing an
unstable global economy. In so doing, it looks beyond causes and
consequences and points to new directions for macroeconomic and
financial policy. This book was originally published as a special
issue of Feminist Economics.

Global citizens' struggles today stress the building of effective
links between development agencies and the women's movement.
Development Action for Women Network, which has long brought
together many leading Third World women thinkers and activists, has
been vigorously contributing to developing such linkages between
the different approaches to and struggles for economic justice and
gender justice. Here DAWN sets out the analyses they have developed
over decades.In the context of a powerful analytic framework that
takes account of the changing circumstances and issues confronting
women at the beginning of the 21st century, DAWN argues from a
feminist perspective for reinventing social contracts to fulfill
the promise of human rights. This is intended to provide a holistic
and radical understanding of the synergies, tensions and
contradictions between social movements and global, regional and
local processes on the one hand, and feminist perspectives and
goals on the other.
