Women and the GDP (ep 3.3)

from Her Half of History · host Evergreen Podcasts

GDP is a mysterious number on which politicians soar or sink, businesses thrive or tumble, and folks like you and me pay our bills or go bankrupt. Despite being considerably more important than the rules of football or the relationship status of your favorite celebrity, most of us know very little about its history. This episode explains how it came to be, how a whole lot of women's work got left out for multiple reasons, and some of the objections to our obsession with the GDP.
