These two sections constitute an impressive addition that seeks to provide summaries and highlights of Folbre's important books and selected articles. It is in an annotated bibliography style, which is useful, but this style cannot draw out the persistent themes in her analysis and how her arguments may have evolved over time. What is important to do is to add some general comments in the Focus section, situating Folbre's work in feminist economics. Also, some of the book summaries could be expanded a bit more. For example, in the last paragraph on Who Pays for the Kids?, the three foci could be elaborated more to indicate what exactly her points are. Since you are writing for a broad audience, it is important not to leave general points unaccompanied by a sentence that either illustrates it with an example or briefly elaborates on it. In Valuing Children, it is important to mention that she estimates the cost of children to parents using US survey data (add survey name, year, and the US--always important any time you are summarizing an empirical study). In the case of this book, in particular, there is scope to connect her efforts to the whole accounting project and write as a (more) knowledgeable commentator. I've added a number of links to other Wikipedia articles but there is more work here. It is especially important to add links to feminist economics, labor economics concepts and authors (e.g. unpaid work). Also, you should visit related Wikipedia articles and put links to Nancy Folbre in those articles. BerikG ( talk) 05:37, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
