The GDP measures economic output, but it doesn’t measure all work done in a country. Take a closer look at labor that is ignored and/or undervalued in American society. How do we value work? Is it possible to change the system to make it more equitable, or do we risk hurting more than we help?

Discussion with Lori Leachman, Professor of the Practice of Economics; and Gunther Peck, Fred W. Shaffer Associate Professor of History and Public Policy.

The iThink: An Ethics Cafe series consists of informal discussion events that focus on a new topic each session and provide an opportunity for undergraduate students to talk about ethics in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Contact Christian Ferney for more information.
