Zusatztext 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. This book 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. Aida A. Hozic is Associate Professor of International Relations at the University of Florida.; Jacqui True is Professor of Politics and International Relations at Monash University. While feminist economists and movements such as Occupy Wall Street have pointed to the distributional inequalities that are an effect of financial deregulation, scholars haven't really grappled with the representational inequalities inherent in the way we view the politics of the market. Scandalous Economics breaks new ground by doing precisely this.
