Abstract
From long ago, economics has considered the family issue, but the science of "family economics" in the current economic literature is a serious new branch. Studies show the limited and a few attentions of Iranian researchers to this economic branch. The book "Household Economics" is one of the few works that has tried to provide basic explanations of common concepts in family economics, in order to provide an introduction to access to richer fields based on religious and national concepts. This article, respecting this valuable target and understanding the need for such rich writings in this field, has tried to review the book "Household Economics". The article is organized in five sections and meanwhile introducing the book briefly, some formal objections and writing principles are pointed out. In the content criticism, the following issues are mentioned: Lack of the necessary comprehensiveness of the work based on the theoretical literature, ignoring the main target society of the book by the authors as well as the indiscriminate use of multiple sources and translations. In general, the book lacks the power of effective analysis and presentation of the specific offer. Since the purpose of reviewing this book in this article is to evaluate the book's competence for its educational status in interdisciplinary studies, the present book seems to be far from achieving this goal.
