In Feminist Theories and Feminist Economics: A Multi-Paradigmatic Approach, Kavous Ardalan examines four paradigms of feminist theory and economics and their social impact. Analyzing the insights of these paradigms—functionalist, interpretive, radical humanist, and radical structuralist—Ardalan offers a comprehensive view of feminist thought, advocating for a multi-paradigmatic approach to understanding feminist research and its economic relevance for society.
Kavous Ardalan is professor of finance at the School of Management at Marist College.
