Re: value and gender


"Marilyn Waring wrote If Women Counted, quite a moving and persuasive book on valuing women.  And there is a good video interviewing her and about her.""
 
Yes I did read the book as a student, and later I met her briefly when I worked for the New Zealand government in statistics, pretty nice person and a staunch defender of gay and lesbian rights. The book had considerable impact, but completely failed to come to grips with value theory from Aristotle to Marx, hence sought to impute prices to demonstrate value. It is not accidental that she was a Tory MP (a member of the New Zealand National Party, the only lesbian they had at that time I think).
