The paired TED talk
GDP measures the wrong things. Here's something better. (2020), the TED talk by Marilyn Waring.
From the publisher
In a world where half the population is likely to be excluded from international human rights guarantees, where unpaid work is given no economic value, where parliamentary process denies women a voice - in such a world truths masquerade as lies. Marilyn Waring writes, in these three essays, of the pretences that create and sustain inequality. Three Masquerades identifies some central myths that promote inequality, and explodes them with an accuracy that is at once devastating and humane.
