Description
This is an auction for HIS WAY: A BIOGRAPHY OF ROBERT MULDOON by Barry Gustafson.
"This is the authorized biography of New Zealand's prime minister, Robert Muldoon -- one of the dominant political figures of the last half-century in New Zealand. Based on many hours of conversation with Muldoon himself as well as colleagues, friends, and family, and wide access to the prime minister's official and private papers and diaries, this book has been awarded the Ian Wards Prize for published historical writing. Muldoon is shown as a champion of the ordinary people whose vision over time became anachronistic and inflexible."

He became Leader of the Opposition in 1974 and led the National Party to victory in the 1975 general election. Muldoon appointed himself Minister of Finance. His tenure as Prime Minister was plagued by an economic pattern of stagnation, high inflation, growing unemployment, and high external debts and borrowing. Economic policies of the Muldoon Government included national superannuation, wage and price freezes, industrial incentives, and the 'Think Big' industrial projects. In foreign policy, Muldoon adopted an anti-Soviet stance, and re-emphasised New Zealand's defence commitments to the United States and Australia under the ANZUS pact. His refusal to stop a Springbok rugby tour of New Zealand divided the country and led to unprecedented civil disorder in 1981..."
