On cover: Building a good society is an enduring, intergenerational quest. New Zealand author.
Summary: A leading public policy thinker from New Zealand asks: What might the contours of a revitalised 'social contract' for New Zealand look like? Wide-ranging reform of the welfare state is needed, Boston argues, if we are to address the challenges presented by economic, social and technological upheaval. This quest is made all the more demanding - and pressing - by alarming ecological crises and the need for 'the good society' to place intergenerational responsibilities at its heart. (Publisher)
