女性主义经济学最前沿——“金融化与社会性别”的方法论考察

The Frontiers of Feminist Economics: A Methodological Study of “Financialization and Gender”

本文主要介绍了2008年全球金融危机之后女性主义经济学对世界经济状况分析的最新知识,并讨论了女性主义经济学当前的课题和方法论。首先,本文重点介绍了英国学者Elson Diane提出的全球化是由金融领域、生产领域、再生产领域以连接关系构成的方法论。其次,详细描述了金融危机之后,非主流经济学和女性主义经济学共同意识到,一向忽视再生产领域研究的主流经济学关于经济危机后的财政、金融调整措施对种族、阶级、性别的分层化影响以及经济危机起源的认识是空白的。最新的女性主义经济学研究提出“家庭金融化”和“金融过度包容”等概念,为重新理解金融领域和再生产领域的连接方式、开展金融危机起源分析、了解阶级分层和贫富差距问题提供了方向。最后,作者通过对美国次贷经济危机的实地调查采访,借助中层分析方法发现,次贷贷款经理人充当了市场权力的“中介”。

This paper focuses on feminist economics' studies of world economy after the 2008 financial crisis and the current subjects and methodologies. First,it introduces Elson Diane's perspective on globalization that spheres of finance,production and reproduction are articulated in the context of globalization and economic crisis. Then,it discusses that after the financial crisis both the heterodox economists and feminist economists realized that the mainstream economists who neglect of reproduction have created a vacuum in understanding of the root causes of the financial crisis and the impacts of financial and fiscal adjustments in response to the financial crisis on the further stratifications of class,gender and race. Feminist economists have recently put forward the concepts of "financialization of households"and"super inclusive finance",which provide new directions in understanding of the articulation between financialization and reproduction,the root cause of financial crisis,the social stratification,and the gap between the rich and poor. Finally,based on the author's fieldwork on the United State subprime mortgage crisis,she uses a meso-level analysis to figure out that the mortgage broker is the mediator of the financial market power.
