DESCRIPTION:WHO'S COUNTING?  Marilyn Waring on Sex, Lies, and Global Economics  Doors 
 open at 7:30 ~ Suggested donation $5 to $10 (no one turned away for lack of 
 $$)  In "Who's Counting?", Marilyn Waring demystifies global economics from 
 a feminist perspective, offering new avenues of approach for political 
 action.  She draws attention to the fact that GDP has no negative side to 
 its accounts — such as damage to the environment — and completely 
 ignores the unpaid work of women.  "Why is the market economy all that 
 counts?" Waring asks.   As a member of New Zealand's parliament, Waring 
 brought down the government on the issue of making New Zealand a 
 nuclear-free zone.  When she was chairperson of the Public Expenditures 
 Committee, she perfected what she calls the "art of the dumb question."  
 Ever since, she has challenged with persistence and wit the myths of 
 economics, its elitist stance, and our tacit compliance with political 
 agendas that masquerade as objective economic policy.  (94 minutes; 1996.)
