Gendering capital

Abstract

This paper argues that economic-geographical analyses of the recent financial crisis might learn from more than three decades of feminist scholarship on economic development. Feminist scholarship: (1) contributes to the ongoing project of rethinking how economic geography is conceived and practised; (2) provides some analytical resources to inform the production of more complex, less partial geographies of financialization; (3) is defined by its strong political and ethical commitments and can contribute to an economic geography better able to understand and form critical responses to the recent crisis.
