About the event

Trickle-down Economics? Give Us a Break
New Zealand remains a staunch adherent to neoliberal beliefs about the economy – an approach sometimes characterised as “trickle-down economics” and sometimes as privatisation and plunder.

Maybe it’s time to rethink our economy, what we want from it and change the thinking behind government budgets and spending.

Shamubeel Eaqub is chief economist at Simplicity and an author, media commentator and a thought-leading speaker. He has more than two decades of experience in Wellington, Melbourne and Auckland in international banks and consultancies.

Chlöe Swarbrick is the Co-Leader of the Green Party, and also the Party’s spokesperson for Finance and Revenue. She was the first politician to be interviewed on the UK podcast Gary’s Economics (check it out). Last year, the Greens produced their own fiscal strategy and their own draft budget to show how we can do things differently.

Do take the opportunity to grab a drink and a bite to eat from the friendly staff at our in-house caterers, Federal Diner. They will have a pop up café open in the Armstrong Room for the duration of the festival weekend.

Chris and the team from Paper Plus Wānaka will also have a book stall in the Armstrong Room featuring books by several of our speakers. Chris will kindly donate a percentage of sales back to the festival, so buying a book not only supports a great local business, but also supports our festival events!
