More information on _Liberating Economics: Feminist Perspectives on Families, Work, and Globalization_ by Drucilla Barker and Susan Feiner is attached. I met the authors (and the rest of Susan's family) on two occasions while sailing in Maine (Ah! Coastal Maine! What a beautiful area!) One thing I recall is that they originally wanted the title of the text to be _Economics, She Wrote_ (a play on words on a TV series, that has since ended, based on Agatha Christie mystery novels). Chapter 7 on "Globalization and the Informal Economy" sounds especially noteworthy from the perspective of the discussion we were having on the "working class and the informal sector." It would be nice if we could consider feminist perspectives more in our discussions .... Susan <sffein@usm.maine.edu> told me that they hope to have a website up soon. The price for the paperback is quite reasonable. To request an examination copy for course use go to http://www.press.umich.edu. There is a discount code on the attachment. In solidarity, Jerry
