Abstract

Central to Ingrid Kurz-Scherf‘s and Alexandra Scheele’s edited collection are observations of the relationship between economy and politics in the context of the 2008 financial crisis from a feminist perspective. The collection reflects on feminist discourse on the crisis, explores the possibility of expanding economic and fiscal policy discourse to include feminist perspectives, highlights crisis policies and the effects of the crisis on gender equality in several European countries, and comments on alternative avenues of thought. In spite of the heterogeneous approaches, methods and quality of the contributions, the collection offers food for thought and diverse impulses for research.
