Thanks to the people who have put their hand up to help with infometrics but please , if you have the skill and want to volunteer to join the team please send me a personal message. In the meantime Ive notice in the last months people coming up with the old myths about poverty and the economy that were comprehensively covered in both of my documentaries. So over the coming weeks Im going to post bite sized chucks from them which you can watch with a cup of tea or share with your friends. Heres the first one in which I explain how Neo-liberal economics and the politics of selfishness was introduced to New Zealand in 1984 through a Treasury paper to Labours Roger Douglas . (The same Treasury who are now advising against the Living Wage) . I also survey three of the worlds leading economists on why the core beliefs of the Neo-liberal ideology - Trickle Down , Deregulation and Privatisation (think Asset sales) have made the majority of us worse off , yet wont be allowed to die (which is why Prof John Quiggin calls them Zombie ideas). You can find the clip here: youtu.be/ZF7wkkF-VVw You can buy both of my documentaries INSIDE CHILD POVERTY and MIND THE GAP here filmshop.co.nz/products-page/sociology/mind-the-gap/ - all the money from sales of my DVDs goes to feed breakfast to hungry Kiwi kids at Russell School in Porirua.
