Editing Feminist economics (section)

===Limited methodology===
Economics is often thought of as "the study of how society manages its [[scarce resources]]" and as such is limited to mathematical inquiry.<ref name="nelson1"/><ref name=manikiw/> Traditional economists often say such an approach assures objectivity and separates economics from "softer" fields such as [[sociology]] and [[political science]]. Feminist economists, argue on the contrary that a mathematical conception of economics limited to scarce resources is a holdover from the early years of science and [[Cartesian philosophy]], and limits economic analysis. So feminist economists often call for more diverse data collection and broader economic models.<ref name="nelson1"/>
