Description
'The problems we face . . . are a consequence of the economic model we have built up in Aotearoa over the past forty years. But that model is a choice – one that we can change if we wish to.’
Aotearoa New Zealand is grappling with tough economic challenges. The Good Economy asks what kind of economy we want – and who it should serve. Through sharp analysis that centres the experiences of New Zealanders, economist Craig Renney explores the values shaping our current system and asks what it would take to build a better one.
Grounded, accessible and hopeful, this Text invites readers to rethink the purpose of economic policy – and to imagine a future with wellbeing, fairness and opportunity at its core.
