This provocative trio of original essays by a well-known New Zealand social activist focuses on the future of this country as it faces crucial choices. "The Wobbly Bicycle: Globalisation on the Precipice" addresses the controversy surrounding free trade and possible alternatives to it based on social justice and democracy. "The Third Way: A Road to Nowhere" takes on the political parties of New Zealand and the promises they have failed to fulfill. Finally, "A Requiem for TINA: Taking the High Road" argues against market-led approaches to nation building and offers more people-centric strategies. This is incisive commentary, designed to provoke discussion and debate.
