happy international womens day
Who's counting? Marilyn Waring on Sex, Lies and Global Economics
In this feature-length (94 minutes) documentary from the National Film Board, Marilyn Waring "demystifies the language of economics by defining it as a value system in which all goods and activities are related only to their monetary value. As a result, unpaid work (usually performed by women) is unrecognized while activities that may be environmentally and socially detrimental are deemed productive. To remedy this, Waring maps out an alternative economic vision based on the idea of time as the new currency."
This documentary also examines Ms. Waring's career as a member of the New Zealand parliament and her ideas about democracy.
Today Tara Hunt wrote about Marilyn Waring on the NFB blog.
And I copied her :)
Have a FANTASTIC International Women's Day women and men, boys and girls.
