Interview with Marilyn Waring, on the limits to GDP and how we do not count caring work

Feminist and political economist Professor Marilyn Waring became the youngest female MP in New Zealand’s history. She joined Amy to talk about the limits of GDP as an economic measure of national success and how it doesn’t count the contribution of women's unpaid work and the inherent value of our environment. She wrote a landmark book 31 years ago, 'Counting for Nothing: What Men Value and What Women are Worth.' We discuss her new book that follows on from it; 'Still Counting.' Broadcast on 19 February 2019.
