VIDEO: Who’s Counting?
Marilyn Waring on Sex, Lies, & Global Economics
Sunday, 10 February, starting at 2:30 PM
Ottawa Public Library Auditorium
120 Metcalfe
Sponsored by NOWAR/PAIX
(Pay what you can and this event is wheelchair accessible)
A bit about the film:
Produced by the National Film Board of Canada, Marilyn Waring "challenges the
myths of economics, its elitist stance, and our tacit compliance with
political agendas that masquerade as objective economic policy" She speaks on
how work is evaluated and valued, how the current system of national accounts
for all UN countries was developed and the implications of such as system
including how it registers war and environmental disasters.
A bit about Ms Waring:
Ms Waring was elected to the New Zealand parliament for three terms as the MP
for her rural community of local farmers; elected the first time at only 22.
Instead of returning to a career of classical music as she had hoped, she
remained a controversial trail blazer bringing down her own government over
the issue of a Nuclear Free New Zealand.
