"Few economists become household names. Last century, it was John
Maynard Keynes or Milton Friedman. Today, Thomas Piketty has become the
economists’ poster-boy. Yet listen to the buzz, and it is five female
economists who deserve our attention. They are revolutionising their
field by questioning the meaning of everything from ‘value’ and ‘debt’
to ‘growth’ and ‘GDP.’ Esther Duflo, Stephanie Kelton, Mariana
Mazzucato, Carlota Perez and Kate Raworth are united in one thing: their
amazement at the way economics has been defined and debated to date.
Their incredulity is palpable."
