Journal of Consumer Studies & Home Economics
Abstract
Household economics is the study of the home or the household, and the part it plays within the economy. The following reflections are concerned with the national economy on one hand, the economy of the household on the other, and the relationship between the two, with special emphasis on the household. Two historical perspectives will be considered: the accumulation of factual materials, and the development of theories.
