Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money

1. bank makes money from loans(interest), low cost brands like kmart make money from poor people, high end brand like Gucci make money from middle class people, lottery commission printing more fake tickets to make more money on bad times. JOHN KEY is rich people cock sucker.
2. reality TV style assessments - paranoia stories included - china isn't sitting around they are investing in value add assets that I believe New Zealand has in spades
3. Don't be fooled. The Kiwi $$ is pegged to the US. Once the US dollar goes belly up, the NZ dollar will too. But in saying this, when the world economy crashes, NZ is where I want to be. I'm a Kiwi :). You want to park your investments in a safe place, try backing off to commodities. Even better precious metals. You may not make much of a profit, but at the end of the day you'll have your wealth intact.

5. Hi from NZ!! That's an interesting analysis of the NZ economy and the benefits of an ongoing, strong relationship with China are easy to see and I don't see this changing. What may change is NZ society and if you had up to date research from the perspective of the middle class, where the economic engine always resides, you would have some concerns about the willingness of NZers to continue to acquiesce to the wisdom of maintaining  such a narrow focus on growth. Here's a few facts that you may want to consider. There has been for some years, a housing bubble in the largest city. This has spread into the other regional centres increasing the cost of a family home dramatically while for some time there has been a proven difficulty with kiwi's being able to afford a home because of largely static wages and noticeable increases in the cost of living, with vegetables increasing 9% in the last year alone. Concurrently there has been a significant influx of immigrant workers arriving here (67,000 in the last calendar year) on top of the immigrant workers that have come to NZ in the last 10 to 15 years. This has created the dynamic, for example,  where Indian and Polynesian people have flooded the labour market in semi skilled roles that young New Zealanders would historically have travelled in their passage to adulthood. Also, in keeping with this narrow fiscal policy focus, many industries that were a primary source of skilled work for much of the community has been moved offshore due to financial pressure to become more efficient and the business community that operates here has had multiple rounds of additional regulation around health and safety that has made some business' almost untenable. Almost.  Agriculture is one industry where due to govt fiscal policy closed many rural schools and that facilitated the corporatisation of farming and this has been seen as an almost treasonous act as farming is a core aspect of New Zealand culture. This has been a major news story in recent weeks because of the impact such intensive farming has on water quality, which in every area of the country has significantly dropped to unhealthy levels. Since and during the 1990's, there has been a continuous influence to reduce the relevance of the family unit, in several guises, not lease of which has been a long term undermining of the education system with contingent 'maladies' created by regulatory and administrative policies handed down by the education ministry in central government. The national media has had a role this alteration of the fabric of NZ society by way of continuously publishing a constant stream of conflict and emotional trauma while side-lining New Zealand issues in favour of foreign news and of crime, politics, war, finance, and sport. This is the summation of an above average New Zealanders willingness to acquiesce to such a narrow focus of fiscal policy. What the participants in the video are optimistically speculating about regarding New Zealand has seen the demise of much of the worlds productive capacity and what I've not factored in here is climate change where in there has been a three metre drop in the water table around Canterbury, a major agricultural area,  and the temperature of the dormant volcanoes that are spread the length of the country are at 30 year highs as is the temperature of public sentiment toward corporate financial wisdom and the commensurate consequences and this collective experience has been seen to significantly destabilise a country, economically and politically. I'm sure Weiss research is fully appraised of what the author is speaking of. China-NZ BFF :-D
