ABOUT
First published in 1941, an influential social and economic history book written by the prominent New Zealand economist, public servant, and intellectual W.B. Sutch.
The text provides a critical reassessment of New Zealand's economic development, social welfare systems, and the living standards of its working class from the early colonial days up through the late 1960s. Sutch argued against the prevailing myth of New Zealand as a flawless egalitarian paradise, using dense statistical data to detail systemic poverty, social inequality, and economic vulnerability.
Well illustrated throughout with monochrome images, drawings, charts and diagrams.
