The Market for Virtue: Jean-Baptiste Say on Women in the Economy and Society

The Market for Virtue: Jean-Baptiste Say on Women in the Economy and Society This essay examines Jean-Baptiste Say's ideas concerning women and their role(s) in society and the economy. It argues that Say wrote as a republican in the context of a political revolution and introduced certain republican ideas into his discussion of gender that influenced political economy throughout the nineteenth century. Contemporary economics still struggles with the legacy of the gender analysis that was born in response to the political agitation for women's emancipation that accompanied the French Revolution. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Feminist Economics Taylor & Francis

Abstract

This essay examines Jean-Baptiste Say's ideas concerning women and their role(s) in society and the economy. It argues that Say wrote as a republican in the context of a political revolution and introduced certain republican ideas into his discussion of gender that influenced political economy throughout the nineteenth century. Contemporary economics still struggles with the legacy of the gender analysis that was born in response to the political agitation for women's emancipation that accompanied the French Revolution.
