A Super Future
Author: Else Anne & St John Susan
An interesting book. Every New Zealander who cares about the future should read this book as well as those overseas interested in the pension debate. The book is objective, though one gets the feeling the authors are in the left of centre camp, seeming to prefer controls rather than carrots. Who should get a state funded pension? How much is enough? What will it cost. Can New Zealand afford it?

Vast changes to New Zealand's system of government have occured since this book's bestselling predecessor, Unbridled power, appeared in 1987. Covers the shift from first past the post to a proportional MMP style of government.

It must have given Geoffrey Palmer great satisfaction to be able to write this books.

Green Politics
Author: Rainbow S
Green Politics looks at contemporary green arguments, seeing them as direct decendants of a variety of nineteenth-century romantic and utopian movements. An interesting little book but it fails to get to grips with the major issue - population. And one senses a harking back to old rural values rather than a leap into a new technological and eco friendly society. An interesting book to get you thinking.
