Who's Counting? Marilyn Waring About Sex, Lies And Global Economics
director: Terre Nash
producer: Kent Martin, National Film Board of Canada
(94 minutes) Canada
screening schedule
With irony and intelligence 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 and monetary
exchange with the result that unpaid work, usually done by women, is
unrecognized and activities that may be environmentally and socially
hazardous are regarded as productive.
Waring maps out an alternative economic vision based on the
idea of time as the one thing we all have to exchange. Shot in Canada, New Zealand,
New York City, the Persian Gulf and the Philippines this film is an
entertaining primer for anyone who suffers from what Waring calls
"economics anxiety."
