Since the 1960 s,with the rise of feminism,more and more scholars pay attention to the research on gender's different behavioral psychology,behavioral characteristics and their influence on social production and life.At the same time,in the field of economic research,the criticism of neoclassical economics as the mainstream school is also in-depth.Many scholars have noticed the lack of thinking about the role of "women" in the field of economic research.Therefore,the perspective of gender research has been introduced into the discussion of new economic theory at the right time,which led to the emergence of the ideological trend of Western Feminist Economics.Beyond economic man: feminist theory and economics,published by Nelson and Ferber in 1993,is regarded as the "Manifesto" and "milestone" of feminist economic research.The rise and development of the ideological trend of Western Feminist Economics is a challenge to the potential hypothesis,moral position and traditional economic model of neoclassical orthodox economics.It aims to study the oppression of women in economy,physiology,society and culture,and to find ways to end the oppression and seek equality in rights.As an important school of unorthodox economics,the ideological trend of Western Feminist Economics emphasizes that in the study of economics,the economic activities of men and women should be objectively and fairly analyzed and evaluated,not only from the perspective of men or women,because the world is diverse and complex,not because of those complex social factors such as emotion,will Customs,traditions,religions,gender and so on can not be analyzed by mathematical methods,so the importance of them in economic life is ignored.Models and mathematical models can analyze general trends,but they can't answer and solve practical problems.This paper is divided into six chapters,based on the cognitive development of the above content,focusing on the historical origin,research methods,core theories,policy propositions and shortcomings of the ideological trend of Western Feminist Economics.The first chapter is the introduction,which clarifies the background,purpose and significance of this paper,and researches on the literature of the ideological trend of Western Feminist Economics and puts forward research ideas,research methods and innovation points.The second chapter expounds the origin of the ideological trend of Western Feminist Economics,including the background,origin and process of its rise,introduces the landmark figures in the development history of feminism Economics: Bergman and Nelson,and and the feminist economist Ailsa McKay who focuses on economic policy.The third chapter is the first part of the theoretical research.It summarizes the epistemology and methodology of the ideological trend of Western Feminist Economics,and analyzes the specific research methods of the ideological trend of Western Feminist Economics.Through the definition of the research object,related concepts,the content of the research subject,the criticism of the New Home Economics and the carding of the main theoretical models,the core theories of the ideological trend of Western Feminist Economics are briefly described in the fourth chapter.The fifth chapter introduces the policy proposition of the ideological trend of Western Feminist Economics,summarizes the possible biases in the process of policy-making,and the views of the ideological trend of Western Feminist Economics on social security policy.The sixth chapter analyzes the evaluation of feminism economics,affirms the contribution of feminism economics to the unorthodox economics,and at the same time deeply reflects on the shortcomings of feminism economics,and looks forward to the future development direction of the ideological trend of Western Feminist Economics.The second,third and fourth chapters are the focus of this paper.the ideological trend of Western Feminist Economics has formed a unique theoretical system by criticizing the neoclassical paradigm.
