An overnight bestseller, Piketty’s assessment that inherited wealth will always grow faster, on average, than earned wealth has energised debate. Hailed as ‘bigger than Marx’ (\u003cem\u003eThe Economist\u003c\/em\u003e) or dismissed as ‘medieval’ (\u003cem\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/em\u003e), the book is widely acknowledged as having significant economic and political implications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCollected in this BWB Text are responses to this phenomenon from a diverse range of New Zealand economists and commentators. These voices speak independently to the relevance of Piketty’s conclusions. Is New Zealand faced with a one-way future of rising inequality? Does redistribution need to focus more on wealth, rather than just income? Was the post-war Great Convergence merely an aberration and is our society doomed to regress into a new Gilded Age?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeoff Bertram\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– Research Associate, Institute for Governance and Policy Studies, Victoria University of Wellington\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSimon Chapple\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– Senior Research Fellow in the Dunedin Multi-disciplinary Health and Development Research Unit, University of Otago\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDonal Curtin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– Economics consultant and blogger\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrian Easton\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– Independent scholar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax Harris\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– Rhodes scholar, University of Oxford\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTim Hazledine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– Professor of Economics, Faculty of Business and Economics, University of Auckland\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBernard Hickey\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– Financial journalist and editor\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrue Hyman\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– former Associate Professor of Economics and Gender and Women's Studies at Victoria University of Wellington\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHautahi Kingi\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– Ph.D. student, Department of Economics, Cornell University\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGareth Morgan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– Businessman, economist and philanthropist\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMatt Nolan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– Senior Economist at Infometrics Ltd\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax Rashbrooke\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– Freelance journalist and writer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSusan St John\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– Associate Professor, Faculty of Business and Economics, University of Auckland and economics spokesperson for the Child Poverty Action Group\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobert Wade\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– Professor of Political Economy at the London School of Economics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCathy Wylie\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– Chief Researcher at the New Zealand Council for Educational Research\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bateman Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45524259897567,"sku":"9781927277713","price":20.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/2185\/3151\/files\/9781927277713.jpg?v=1744078376","url":"https:\/\/lamplightbooks.pro\/products\/the-piketty-phenomenon-new-zealand-perspectives","provider":"Lamplight Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
