<p>"This book aims to develop a feminist political ecology, which will enrich ecological economics and feminist economics, by integrating experience-based knowledge. With examples from struggles to cope with social and environmental degradation, it builds a bridge from human values, feminist values, care values, nature values, and solidarity values into economic thinking and policy, challenging the mainstream approach of expressing values in economic terms.", <b><i>Iulie Aslaksen ecological and feminist economist </i></b></p><p>"This outstanding book traces the possibilities offered by linking feminist political ecology and feminist economics. It brings out an innovative analytical and normative framework, develops economic alternatives as transformative praxis and shows that care can contribute not only towards transforming economies but also society and politics to become intrinsically caring for humans and non-humans.", <b><i>Daniela Gottschlich, Humboldt University Berlin, Germany</i></b></p>
