BETWEEN GOVERNMENTS AND BANKS
By Dr Hawke
244 p. $7.50
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand was established in 1933-34 but today’s institution bears little resemblance to the one that was originally constructed by the 1933 legislation. The author, with a combination of historical and economic skill, covers the story and makes an assessment of the Bank’s performance to date. A valuable contribution to New Zealand’s historical record.
