    Words cannot describe how much I loved this show. Forget the paltry offerings that Waleed and I brought to the conversation: Anne Manne is a force of nature!

    Housework; play with one's children; joyous attentiveness to one's parents; loving delight in the presence of those with disabilities in our care - are these all moral imperatives? Listen back to today's discussion with the indomitable Anne Manne:

    Loved this brilliant piece about Marilyn Waring and feminist economics. Even read it while breastfeeding a baby - an unpaid task by women worth an estimated *three billion* dollars to Australia each year.

    Much of the work women do goes unvalued by mainstream economics, and this amounts to a dangerous inequity. Anne Manne on why the feminist revolution is unfinished.

    In light of the & more funding for in-home aged care, thought it might be a good idea to circulate this article. Note: Budget talks about increasing funding, not necessarily carer income support.

    Why is it that GDP counts the work of drug dealers but not the work involved in housework? Who decides? Anne Manne on Marilyn Waring’s interrogation of this “applied patriarchy”.

    A must read on women and the economy as the dust settles on . “While taxpayers debated whether we could “afford” the $6 billion price tag of the NDIS, we were making invisible this care work provided to people with a disability by predominantly female caregivers.”

    “The reason that the feminist revolution is unfinished is right there under our noses: women’s unpaid work.” Anne Manne on why gender inequality is as much of an issue today as it was 40 years ago.

    Ostensibly a reality-TV series, is stripped of the genre’s usual material. It is less about bad behaviour, and more about people trying to live decently. Jessica Au on the show’s return to :

    Essential reading by Anne Manne on the icon Marilyn Waring and the danger of "etcetera" in tallying women's work.

    Much of the work women do goes unvalued by mainstream economics, and this amounts to a dangerous inequity. Anne Manne on why the feminist revolution is unfinished.

    Some essential pre-reading for tomorrow's show is Anne Manne's breathtaking piece in the May issue of on Marilyn Waring and the unfinished feminist revolution:

    Is there a moral imperative to do housework? Have we lost something essential to the moral life – something beyond monetary value – in our pursuit of convenience? You won't want to miss tomorrow's show with Anne Manne ... seriously.
