Feministische Ökonomik (german)
While feminist economics defies easy definition, it involves the application of gender-based analysis and a feminist critique of gender inequality to economic theory, economic life, and policy-making. Many feminist economists fault mainstream economic analysis for being "masculinist" viewing the economy from the point of view of men's experience, and defining the typical economic actor as "rational economic man." (Prof. Julie Matthaei, Department of Economics, Wellesley College, Mass.)
