""Rogernomics" -- we hear the word almost daily on radio and television and read it constantly in our newspapers, but how many of us really understand Roger Douglas's policies and what they mean? This readable book, written specifically for laypeople, examines and explains the social and economic revolution which has hit this country since the fourth Labour Government came to power in 1984 ... Simon Collins examines what Douglas has done, and shows how a few simple principles of market economies have pervaded a whole nation. He considers some alternative policies and brings together evidence and arguments for the many New Zealanders who are asking "Is there a better way?"." -- Back cover.
