Description
"Safe drinking water counts for nothing. A pollution-free environment counts for nothing. Even some people - namely women - count for nothing. This is the case, at least, according to the United Nations System of National Accounts. Author Marilyn Waring, former New Zealand M.P., now academic, development consultant, writer, and goat farmer, isolates the gender bias that exists in the current system of calculating national wealth."
