Feminist analysis of modern economics

A friend brought home a book from a woman's conference she attended in 2000. This author/activist/educator/elected at 24 years of age to New Zealand Parliament. She was placed on an economic committee where she did not understand a word or concept the old white men were speaking about at the conference table. This took her eventually on a world tour and she counted and tabulated "women's work". 

Marilyn Waring (1988)

This is a revolutionary and powerfully argued feminist analysis of modern economics, revealing how woman's housework, caring of the young, sick and the old is automatically excluded from value in economic theory. An example of this pervasive and powerful process is the United Nation System of National Accounts which is used for wars and determining balance of payments and loan requirements.

Print publication: 1988

I was so very much impressed with this woman and book. And now even more impressed with how much she has done since then. 

Anyone working on economics really really needs to know about this woman's work.

May girls and women rise up in ALL aspects of their lives.
