Gender And The Constitutional Theory Of The Firm, Jamee K. Moudud
Gender And The Constitutional Theory Of The Firm, Jamee K. Moudud
Seattle University Law Review
This Article adds to the literature that has linked feminist economics to foreign trade and development. It argues that two key factors need to be in place jointly if efforts to promote gender equity are to succeed. On the one hand it argues that foreign debt is an important constraint to domestic progressive social policies of all kinds as it increases the power of international creditors who generally tend to support austerity policies.
