New Zealand once ranked among the world’s most prosperous nations.

Not any longer.

Armed with experience in both Law and Economics, retired lawyer David Schnauer spent a year writing “UNCOMFORTABLE ECONOMICS”.

His purpose; to show that New Zealand’s underperformance is fixable.

He challenges both politicians and citizens to lift their sights and demand more from our economy.

In Podcast 344, David Schnauer is explicit in his assertions but expands on his ambitions for New Zealands future.

And, as usual, The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
