Talk:New Zealand Economics

This typifies why economists and academics should be the last people anyone should listen to when considering how a 'society' functions in a changing world. Put away the text books and the dictionary and go for a walk in the sunshine...try to get some real life experiences to talk about.

It would be interesting as this book develops to do a comparison with the Australian and Singaporean economies and their management over similar time periods. The per-capita GDP (PPP) US$ figures in 2005 are: Australia, $30,900; Singapore $28,370; New Zealand $24,800, source: World Development Report 2007, IMF. Policies and resource endowments may have contributed these differences.
 * I agree, it would be. We'd need someone with knowledge of those two economies to provide the same kind of economic history I've provided for NZ though ('cos I certainly don't know! :) ). kabl00ey (talk) 19:21, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
