"The classic documentary of how a small rightwing group of politicians
and economists took power in 1984 and turned New Zealand into their
version of a neoliberal free market state.
"A coherent and comprehensive account of the years which will define this country for a century to come" NZ Herald."1

IN A LAND OF PLENTY
"New Zealand used to have genuine full employment but in 1984 the newly
elected Labour government turned unemployment into a tool of economic
management with the aim of controlling inflation. The policies and
institutions that sustained full employment were abandoned or
reconstructed to maximise the new policy of 5 to 6% unemployment. This
feature documentary tells the story of this transformation revealing
what lies at the heart of the modern free market economy: a deliberate
government policy of unemployment."1
