Completing The Circle

First published in 1996 by Seascape Press.

"One of the most significant figures of the post-war world"
Sir Sam Brittain

From the back cover :

When we look at our country many of us feel the pendulum has swung too far one way.

Economically we are doing better than we ever have but what about the social deficit that is building up? In this powerful, passionate book Sir Roger Douglas says the things that politicians daren't say.

"There is a social crisis looming in New Zealand, an underclass has established itself. And politicians pouring money into the problem is like pouring petrol into a fire.

"We are giving irresistible incentives to young people to give their lives over to the state. This is destroying human dignity, breaking up families, and threatening our sense of what it is to be a New Zealander."

Completing the Circle is a solution to the most fundamental problems this country faces. And it is a marvellously readable book.
