Feminine Economies: Thinking Against the Market in the Enlightenment and the Late Twentieth Century

By Judith Still

Contemporary theory has been exercised by the question of the gift - whether there is some mode of relation that escapes the dominant paradigm of market exchange. This work focuses both on the latter part of the 20th century and on the key pre-text of the Enlightenment, a moment in which the market economy as we know it today was becoming established and the terms of today's debates were being shaped.
