'Economic man" pervades all aspects of society. What if economic woman was just as important?What does that Q even mean? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the story of how we have turned a theory that we know isn't very good into the ideal that we should in fact try ... *by A***G on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 27, 2016* A reexamination of the foundations of economics as born in Wealth of Nations. It is a feminist perspective and it is about women, but it is not really at the same time. More so it is a critique of the rational actor or 'economic man' as it is called here. We all know this is nonsense even the economists who hang their life's work on economic theory that relies on this. This book sets up a story of first how we got this economic man and how Margaret Douglas cooking her son's meal her whole life being left out got us in this mess and second the long range consequences of not just ignoring women and unpaid labor but pretending any one is truly a rational actor in reality. This is the story of how we have turned a theory that we know isn't very good into the ideal that we should in fact try to become. Very interesting read. Quite funny. The only clue I had that this was a translation was not so much the phrasing but that some examples are of the native Sweden which is odd unless it is a Swedish book as an American reader. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good eye opener into the obfuscation of women's work *by P***I on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 25, 2016* A good eye opener into the obfuscation of women's work. All mothering - the daily physical labor, the constant monitoring and anguish, the loss sleep; the life time of care - let alone the housework NOT PAID, NOT RECOGNIZED BY ' ECONOMIC MAN'...And those who are poor and stupid and lazy and shiftless. That is what Marcal brings to the front...Wish I knew more about economics as s he draws on economic theory. Only complaint, she maligns Freud and she was wrong about that. I give her a pass as her other areas are very vital. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/45113365-who-cooked-adam-smiths-dinner-a-story-of-women-economics](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/45113365-who-cooked-adam-smiths-dinner-a-story-of-women-economics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-04*
