The prevailing assumption that economics is inherently gender-neutral is not<br>always explicitly formulated, but is tacitly assumed. Economics does not only conceal the<br>category of gender, both in its biological and social understanding, but also gender relations and<br>the corresponding power, domination and inequalities. However, economic theories are not<br>gender-neutral, but based on androcentric values and world views. The examination herewith<br>is an object of feminist economics. Gender-blind economics systematically underestimates<br>the contributions of women to the economy. In particular, the entire area of unpaid work,<br>social cohesion and interpersonal responsibility remains invisible, with no broader public<br>appreciation and no adequate attention within economic theory and economic policy. The<br>paper contains an overview of the state of feminist economics, given its pluralistic characteristics<br>and common assumptions. It reflects upon the extent to which feminist economics<br>can provide answers and alternatives to the central points of criticism of orthodox economics<br>and its political implications</p>}, number={164}, journal={PROKLA.
