En tant que variable socio-démographique, système sociétal hiérarchisé et grille de lecture analytique de la réalité économique, le genre est de plus en plus mobilisé dans les recherches comme dans les enseignements. La publication d’un ouvrage sur l’Économie politique du genre vise à contribuer à cette tendance de façon novatrice. En s’appuyant sur une démarche d’économie politique, il cherche à mettre en avant l’intérêt d’une telle approche pour la discipline. Dans cette perspective, il s’appuie sur 3 grands axes : 1. Un axe théorique et épistémologique permet de préciser les originalités du champ et de proposer l’orientation globale de l’ouvrage. Ce premier axe vise aussi à affirmer les différences avec la sociologie du genre. 2. Un axe inégalités dresse un panorama des champs économiques dans lesquels la présence des inégalités de genre constitue une forte incitation à s’appuyer sur l’Économie politique du genre (école et marché du travail essentiellement). Celle-ci permet à la fois de repenser l’analyse de la réalité économique, comme la mise en œuvre des politiques publiques traitant ces inégalités. 3. Un axe international mobilise l’Économie politique du genre pour traiter des questions relatives au développement et au cas des institutions internationales, en particulier les banques centrales. Ce livre s'adresse essentiellement aux étudiants de master et de doctorat en sciences économiques, mais son contenu est susceptible d'intéresser un public plus large : étudiants en licence de sciences économiques, étudiants d'autres sciences sociales, et toute personne intéressée par les questions relatives au genre.

This is the first book to examine the central tenets of economics from a feminist point of view. In these original essays, the authors suggest that the discipline of economics could be improved by freeing itself from masculine biases. Beyond Economic Man raises questions about the discipline not because economics is too objective but because it is not objective enough. The contributors-nine economists, a sociologist, and a philosopher-discuss the extent to which gender has influenced both the range of subjects economists have studied and the way in which scholars have conducted their studies. They investigate, for example, how masculine concerns underlie economists' concentration on market as opposed to household activities and their emphasis on individual choice to the exclusion of social constraints on choice. This focus on masculine interests, the contributors contend, has biased the definition and boundaries of the discipline, its central assumptions, and its preferred rhetoric and methods. However, the aim of this book is not to reject current economic practices, but to broaden them, permitting a fuller understanding of economic phenomena. These essays examine current economic practices in the light of a feminist understanding of gender differences as socially constructed rather than based on essential male and female characteristics. The authors use this concept of gender, along with feminist readings of rhetoric and the history of science, as well as postmodernist theory and personal experience as economists, to analyze the boundaries, assumptions, and methods of neoclassical, socialist, and institutionalist economics. The contributors are Rebecca M. Blank, Paula England, Marianne A. Ferber, Nancy Folbre, Ann L. Jennings, Helen E. Longino, Donald N. McCloskey, Julie A. Nelson, Robert M. Solow, Diana Strassmann, and Rhonda M. Williams.
