Behind the mirror glass : the growth of wealth and power in New Zealand in the eighties
"The economic upheaval of the eighties has created a major shift in who holds wealth and power in New Zealand. Says Bruce Jesson, the author of this Penguin Special: "The small group of businessmen controlling corporate New Zealand is even smaller than it used to be." There is now, he says "an extreme concentration of power" in the New Zealand economy. "Behind the mirror glass" explains this drastic shift. it analyses the recent takeover boom, the growth of the massive Brierley empire and the new investment giants such as Chase and Equitycorp, the feverish and inflated sharemarket, the rise to power of Rogernomics and its often well-positioned disciples. A penetrating, controversial analysis of a major shift in power in New Zealand society." -- Back cover
