 DescriptionHow did an electrician from New Zealand with a few mediocre grades in sociology write the second most cited economics article in the world, build the MONIAC - a revolutionary computing machine - and quickly rise to become one of the world's leading economists? From a remote Dannevirke farm to wartime POW camps to London's intellectual world, the Bill Phillips story is a true New Zealand tale of adventurous spirit and can-do energy. Author descriptionAlan Bollard is the executive director of the APEC Secretariat in Singapore, former governor of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand and secretary of the Treasury, and author of 25 books and monographs including most recently Crisis: One Central Bank Governor and the Global Financial Collapse (Auckland University Press, 2010). |
