This article reviews the literature in the field of care in terms of the concept and methodology. This is an area that has been under theorised in mainstream economics, but that has received considerable attention over the last few decades by feminist economics. The provisioning of caring service is a social as well as an economic issue and it is increasingly difficult even for conventional economics to consider caring activities. The integration of caring situation into economic thinking poses the task and the challenge of conceptualizing a situation of human interaction quite different from the typical exchange situation. In this article, the impact of caring on economics theorizing is addressed.
