DOWNLOAD EBOOKState policy-making in New Zealand in recent years has undergone a fundamental transformation from social democratic Keynesianism, to New Right monetarism. Like its predecessor, State and Economy in New Zealand, this book critically examines this important shift by considering the interrelationship between the state, the economy and society in New Zealand, while providing an historical analysis of these changes over prolonged periods of time. An appreciation of the broader historical context is essential for a full understanding of the post-1984 reforms. The book investigates the major changes in New Zealand's political economy that have taken place during the twentieth century, focusing in particular on the post-war era. The period falls into two distinct epochs. The first, from 1945-1973, was characterized by economic prosperity and by social integration and political stability at least until the late 1960's. The second, from 1974 to the present, has been characterized by economic stagnation, societal conflict, and political instability. The Political Economy of New Zealand will be of interest to students of New Zealand politics, economics, history, sociology, education and public policy.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPresents a detailed look at the New Zealand economy in the 20th century, and in particular its course since World War II. This is not just a history but a narrative about a problem, defining, analysing, and contributing to an understanding that will aid in its solutions. Initial chapters examine the ongoing debate about the New Zealand economy, looking at such factors as external impact and internal response, the business cycle and growth, and problems of financing investment. Structural transformation, the farm sector, industry and energy, and the market are all examined in later chapters, with a discussion of the aftermath of Rogernomics and the decade of greed.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book advances our understanding of resource-dependent regions in developed economies in the 21st Century. It explores how rural and small town places are working to find success in a new economy marked by demographic, economic, social, cultural, political, and environmental change. How are we to understand the changes and transformations working through communities and economies? Where are the trajectories of change leading these resource-dependent places and regions? Drawing upon examples from Canada, USA, UK, Australia, New Zealand, and the Nordic countries, these and other questions are explored and addressed by constructing a critical political economy framework of resource hinterland transition. Towards a Political Economy of Resource Dependent Regions is a key resource for students and researchers in geography, rural and industrial sociology, economics, environmental studies, political science, regional studies, and planning, as well as policy-makers, those in industry and the private sector, and local and regional development practitioners.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFew books have had the global impact of Thomas Piketty’s Capital in the Twenty-First Century. An overnight bestseller, Piketty’s assessment that inherited wealth will always grow faster, on average, than earned wealth has energised debate. Hailed as ‘bigger than Marx’ (The Economist) or dismissed as ‘medieval’ (Wall Street Journal), the book is widely acknowledged as having significant economic and political implications. Collected in this BWB Text are responses to this phenomenon from a diverse range of New Zealand economists and commentators. These voices speak independently to the relevance of Piketty’s conclusions. Is New Zealand faced with a one-way future of rising inequality? Does redistribution need to focus more on wealth, rather than just income? Was the post-war Great Convergence merely an aberration and is our society doomed to regress into a new Gilded Age?

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAmong the unintended and largely unforeseen consequences of globalization are the fundamental transformations of local relationships, both economic and cultural, that occur within communities drawn into the predominantly capitalist world economy. Democracy, once considered the essential political mode of regulation for successful capitalist economies, is being replaced by nondemocratic modes of social organization as localized responses to global forces, such as Maori tribalization in New Zealand, are subverted and transformed. A Political Economy of Neotribal Capitalism looks at the past three decades in New Zealand and the shifts in the relationship between the indigenous Maori people and the dominant Pakeha (white) society to illustrate these fundamental changes to national political, social, and economic structures. The book includes a case study of a Maori family, a theoretical exploration of the concept of "neotribal capitalism," and discussions of themes such as changing socioeconomic relations; new social movements; the indigenization of ethnicity; dominant group-ethnic group realignment; and the antidemocratic ideologies of late capitalism-themes of interest to students of world political economics, international relations, and anthropology.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Political economy themes have - directly and indirectly - been a central concern of law and legal scholarship ever since political economy emerged as a concept in the early seventeenth century, a development which was re-inforced by the emergence of political economy as an independent area of scholarly enquiry in the eighteenth century, as developed by the French physiocrats. This is not surprising in so far as the core institutions of the economy and economic exchanges, such as property and contract, are legal institutions.In spite of this intrinsic link, political economy discourses and legal discourses dealing with political economy themes unfold in a largely separate manner. Indeed, this book is also a reflection of this, in so far as its core concern is how the law and legal scholarship conceive of and approach political economy issues"--
