Scientist and writer Danyl McLauchlan joins Kim to tackle life's big questions, ideas and thinkers.
Today he's untangling the somewhat slippery term ‘Neoliberalism’, which is used to describe the economic agenda embraced by New Zealand governments from the mid 1980's, which resulted in state asset sales and deregulation of key industries.
So what is Neoliberalism? Why was it seen as the solution to the economic woes of post-Muldoon New Zealand, and what is the legacy of its implementation in Aotearoa?
Danyl is the author of two novels and Tranquillity and Ruin, an essay collection.
