One Recent Economics Publication Offers Diversity, Another Ideology.

Over the years I have collected a bibliography of about 500 books and article on the economic reforms since 1984, reflecting numerous accounts of what happened. It is not comprehensive – simply the items I have referred to in my writings. By a judicious selection one can select a subset of these references which demonstrates the muldoonist analysis of the reforms was correct, or a marxist one, or a crude keynesian, or a social credit one, or whatever. You would not have to do that for a new right account of the reforms. Instead you would go to a recent article “Economic Reform in New Zealand 1984-95: The Pursuit of Efficiency” by Lewis Evans, Arthur Grimes, David Teece, and Bryce Wilkinson, published in the Journal of Economic Literature.
