About this videoRuth Richardson turns this lecture into a study of economic liberty and the success story that New Zealand, her native country, has become. She lists the events that brought the reforming forces into play and the two reform waves that took place: One in 1964 by the Labour government and the other in 1990 by the National government, when Richardson was Minister of Finance. She tells the story of how the idea of liberty was put into action – how interest controls were removed, how the income tax was slashed in favor of a goods-and-services tax, and how privatization took place, among others. She shares the key intellectual principles that aided in the transformation of this country and the economic growth that it had as consequence of the implementation of economic liberty. |
