Introduction -- 1. Convenience and practicality -- 2. The false god -- 3. Other wellbeing realities -- 4. Rigour in research and philosophy -- 5. Aotearoa, not Europe -- 6. The largest sector of the nation's economy -- 7. The counter factual.
Summary: "Thirty years ago Marilyn Waring's groundbreaking book Counting for Nothing was released. Waring explained, through meticulous economic analysis, how the success of the global economy rests on women's unpaid work. Counting for Nothing became a phenomenon: it was read and discussed around the world, and even made into a film. Today, many people hope that the shift to a wellbeing approach - moving beyond narrow economic indicators when assessing New Zealand's progress - will mean women's work is finally valued fairly. But what does Marilyn Waring make of it? This short book provides an essential assessment of wellbeing economics from a leading feminist scholar"--Publisher information.
