If you want to understand the global economic system this film is a must see. It specifically deals with the work that women do and how it is measured (or not measured) in the present day economic system. In examining this issue Marilyn Waring also gives us a critical look into the distorted logic that drives the world today.

Here’s a great talk gathered from the Women’s International News Gathering Service (W.I.N.G.S.).

Lani Guinier, first black woman tenured professor at Harvard Law, has unconventional views but they are worth consideration. In this talk she argues how we lose parts ourselves and abandon the powerless as we further to seek to gain power within current power-centric structures. She argues that we should seek to ovalize power.

On a related note, there are still many who believe that Barack Obama becoming President was a giant leap forward because he is a person of color but does he still not represent the same oppressive power as before? Just as the Black South African leaders today still represent the same masters the whites did during Aparthied .

I filmed this talk by Angela Davis in February of 2008 at Regis in Denver. Distinguishing between race/gender diversity and a broader concept of human rights she nurtures a more vibrant and sustainable future.
