This book was published before any questioning New Zealand's neo-liberal "Labour" Party's decapitalisation of New Zealand was accepted or even allowed. It seems obvious now - be stupid, win stupid prizes - but at the time this was groundbreaking stuff.
And only 7 ratings on Goodreads.com?
The book
A fabulous book. Domestically, it tackles a complex and generally obfuscated subject in a clear and systematic manner. Internationally, it compares the New Zealand Experiment to very similar enterprizes being undertaken worldwide. Note that being able to see and even write about larger patterns is largely VERBOTEN in western anglo-american such as New Zealand.
While dealing with a particular experiment, this book is timeless as a clear, independent account of the unrestrained application of the silliest of Chicago School make-believe to the most inappropriate of domains: a real-world country.
