Author talk with Richard Werry & Craig Renney

Please note the venue and time has changed for this event

Join us at Pūtangitangi Greenmeadows Centre
with Richard Werry & Craig Renney talking about their books:

Privatisation & Plunder and The Good Economy

and an introduction from Rachel Boyack

Privatisation & Plunder lays bare how forty years of neoliberalism reshaped Aotearoa New Zealand more radically than almost any other nation. Privatisation, deregulation and austerity tore through public life, deepening inequality and fuelling today’s crises in housing,
work and the cost of living.
Bringing together leading voices from academia and activism, this powerful collection exposes the real legacy of the ‘New Zealand Experiment’ — and offers bold, practical alternatives: universal basic income, public ownership, democratic renewal and economic justice.

‘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.


Monday 23rd March 6.00 pm at the Pūtangitangi Greenmeadows Centre
