While each of its individual contributions has closure, the overall effect of the volume is to engender eagerness for more work of this kind that links the themes of gender, intersectionality and the global political economy. --Review Symposium Gender and Financial Crisis, Perspectives on Politics This accessible, innovative, and wide-ranging collection wonderfully illustrates the power of radical feminist theorizing in disclosing the gendered roots, genesis, dynamics, narration, governance and impact of financial crisis and insecurity. Written by established and rising feminist scholars, the contributions roundly reject the idea that gender is an optional add-on in the critique of political economy and domination and demonstrate its absolutely foundational role in the production and reproduction of exploitation, structured inequalities of power, and the dynamics of neoliberalismThis is a must for the classroom, the library, and the activists' bookshelf. --Bob Jessop, Distinguished Professor of Sociology, Lancaster University, United Kingdom Reading Scandalous Economics eight years after the financial crash is sobering. True's and Hozic's thoughtful authors are raising bright yellow warning banners that read: Do not imagine that the sorts of masculinized presumptions and structures that fueled the global banking and housing nightmares have been relegated to the attic. Their roots go down deeper than any scandal and still are alive and thriving. --Cynthia Enloe, author of Seriously!: Investigating Crashes and Crises as if Women Mattered, United States Over the past decade, the global financial crisis has been forgotten. Crucial questions regarding subjects, bodies, and practices have been displaced by bloodless macroeconomic and theoretical abstractions, while critical voices and ethical concerns have been co-opted and reduced to matters of technique. Scandalous Economics shows over a series of path-breaking chapters how this 'great repression' happened, demonstrating the need for gendered and feminist analyses which counter analytic amnesia and highlight the everyday realities of embodied practices and subjects. --Wesley Widmaier, Senior Research Fellow, Griffith University, Australia First, it surveys the global financial crisis from the perspective of gender and feminist theory. Second, there has been a co-optation (a borrowing) of feminist perspectives in the policy responses to the crisis. Lastly, it shows the insights feminist political economy analysis contributes to the field of international political economy. -- Choice A rich and illuminating volume... Inequality and its structural foundations animate each of its chapters, and the sum total of the volume adds up to a profound and damning criticism of the inability of global finance and capitalism to learn from its mistakes. - E-International Relations' Over the past decade, the global financial crisis has been forgotten.
