About
A gripping social history of the Rogernomics era and its impact on rural New Zealand.
The economic reforms launched by the 1984 David Lange–led Labour government changed New Zealand forever. Agriculture bore the brunt of those changes, and Rogernomics became a defining moment for the primary sector. This social history relates the story of a rural sector battered and bruised by rapid change.
Award-winning journalist Neal Wallace traces the period leading up to the reforms by talking to political and sector leaders. The most important contribution comes from interviews with those most affected: farmers.
- Understand the impact of economic policies on rural communities.
- Document the experiences of farmers during periods of economic upheaval.
- Explore the resilience and adaptability of rural communities.
- Analyze the social and economic consequences of agricultural reform.
This book is for academics, policymakers, students, and general readers interested in New Zealand history, agricultural economics, and rural sociology.
