Abstract

What explanations did economists advance for New Zealand's remarkable experience of full employment between 1938 and 1980? What causes did they suggest for the breakdown and subsequent massive rise in unemployment? This paper categorises and critically surveys material on these questions as part of a wider project on New Zealand's post-war unemployment experience.
