Abstract
ABSTRACTThis article outlines core tenets of feminist economics and contrasts these tenets with traditional neoclassical economic assumptions about human nature, value, markets, inequality, and power. Further, it challenges the Voluntary National Content Standards in Economics and the C3 Framework for their exclusion of any perspective beyond the neoclassical paradigm while exposing the deleterious consequences of this paradigm, including its promotion of neoliberal policies; its opposition to democratic ideals; its exclusion of topics related to race, class, and gender; and its problematic assertions about human welfare. The article concludes with alternative ways of thinking about economics that might encourage teachers to question the prevailing neoclassical dominant narrative with a feminist counter narrative.
