It unpacks economic definitions, turns a men-only history on its head, and highlights female experiences and solutions. encouraging female readers to think about their own economic memoir and confront our system's hyper-masculine identity. \u003cbr\u003e In the past fifty years, the US has witnessed a major shift in economic theory, and yet few women can identify or talk about its influence in their own lives. Accessible and inspiring, \u003ci\u003eScrewnomics\u003c\/i\u003e offers female readers hope for a better, more inclusive future--and the tools to make that hope a reality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRickey Gard Diamond began writing in the midst of big political change and growing American differences.
