The Whimpering Of The State: Policy After MMP by Brian Easton

"The Whimpering of the State looks at the first three MMP years with the same lively, broad-ranging and informed approach as Easton's successful The Commercialisation of New Zealand, which described the winner-takes-all regime before 1996. Again there are case studies: health, education, science, the arts, taxation, retirement policy, and infrastructure. Policy possibilities are explored. Yet, as the title of the book suggests, any relief at the ending of Rogernomics is offset by a realistic pessimism arising from a shrewd analysis of the continuing deficiencies in New Zealand's political and social structure. Although written for the general public, this book will also be read by politicians, policy analysts and students, and will shape policy thinking in the post-MMP era. "--BOOK JACKET.
