Description and Table of Contents
Description
Rather an unexpected book from an economist, this grew out of entries for "The Dictionary of New Zealand Biography" by Bernard Ashwin, Secretary to the Treasury in the 1940s and 1950s, and Bill Sutch, Secretary of Industries and Commerce in the 1950s and 1960s. It is a collection of linked essays on individuals and companies in the years from 1931 to 1984 who contributed in major ways to building a New Zealand nation. It aims to capture the intertwining of the lives of politicians, their advisers and those who influenced them, as well as the ideas and experiences which drove them.
