Zealand Fly Again? The New Reform Agenda

the New Zealand Labour government's Minister of Finance between
1984 and 1988, SIR ROGER DOUGLAS was responsible for introducing

in the country's flagging fortunes. The author of There's Got
to be a Better Way (1981), Unfinished
Business (1993) and Completing
the Circle (1996),
he is now Managing Director of Roger Douglas Associates, an
