Roger Douglas

[PHILLPS@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Pen-lers,
  I am scheduled to debate with Roger Douglas of (in)famous
New Zealand neo-conservatism next Tuesday (April 5) here at
the University of Manitoba.  He is making the rounds here in
Canada, I believe under the auspices of an ultra-right think
tank, spouting monetarism, privatization, deregulation etc.
He also claims, of course, a certain credibility because of
his experience as finance minister in the last NZ "Labour" (sic)
government.
  Now I know, in general, the NZ history, but not the details and
the history of the NZ economy since his predations.  Can I
ask anybody on the list who is familiar with his views and
evidence/argument to counter them to send me their comments asap.
