The book analyzes the economic relationship between patriarchy and capital accumulation and the ways in which these two economic systems have perpetuated oppression of women and other marginalized groups domestically and globally. It describes the ways in which the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the economic inequalities between men and women in the workplace and in the household. Students are encouraged to develop respect, empathy, and compassion for difference in a global context, as well as the ability to advocate and be an agent of change for global justice and gender equity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA timely and essential resource, \u003cem\u003eA Compassionate Approach to Gender and Development\u003c\/em\u003e is an ideal resource for courses and programs in international economics, gender studies, sociology, global studies, and global culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ranjeeta Basu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cognella Academic Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 8.00w x 0.31d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781793556714\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBasu, Ranjeeta:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Ranjeeta Basu is a professor of economics at California State University San Marcos (CSUSM), where she teaches courses in international economics, economics of development, gender and development, economics and wellbeing, and econometrics.
