“It is widely recognised that there are serious problems entrenched in the New Zealand welfare system. Yet comprehensive solutions that will bring tangible, lasting improvement are in short supply. In From Welfare State to Civil Society, Dr David Green argues convincingly for a programme of reform that places a free society at the centre. His vision allows for – indeed requires – both individual responsibility and a sense of community, to restore New Zealand’s dependent society, damaged by twentieth century paternalism, to a free society in which people are seen as intelligent agents capable of making their own decisions.”
