Dive into the compelling narrative of 'We Need To Talk About Norman: New Zealand's Lost Leader', penned by acclaimed author Denis Welch. This insightful book examines the legacy of Prime Minister Norman Kirk, who governed for just 21 months yet left an indelible mark on the political landscape of New Zealand. Unlike contemporary leaders, Kirk championed the notion of a state harnessed for the greater good, positioning himself against the rise of neoliberalism that has contributed to growing inequality and societal discontent in our times. Explore the profound ideas that Kirk espoused, including his vision of a fair society where every individual has 'someone to love, somewhere to live, somewhere to work, and something to hope for'. This vital text serves as a guiding reference for today's political climate, urging a return to principles centered on public service rather than profit. With 168 pages of dynamic insight and reflection, Denis Welch recovers the essence of Kirk's leadership, advocating for a government with moral integrity and purpose. Perfect for readers interested in New Zealand politics, leadership studies, and themes of social justice, this book is more than a biography; it's a call to action for a balanced, equitable society.

Author: Denis Welch Publisher: Quentin Wilson Publishing
Why do we need to talk about Norman? Because although Norman Kirk was prime minister for barely 21 months some 50 years ago, he still speaks to us. His belief in the state as a force for good and his style of leadership could and should be powerful guides for politics in the 21st century. Kirk was not a supporter of the neoliberalist ideology that has given us widening inequality, rising poverty and the virtual obliteration from public debate and policy-making of the workers who create this country’s wealth. His idea of a healthy country was, famously, one whose citizens could realistically expect to find “someone to love, somewhere to live, somewhere to work and something to hope for”. But the social contract central to politics in his day has been broken, and state and society are now run almost exclusively on business lines. This book, by veteran journalist and political commentator Denis Welch, is aimed at recovering what Norman Kirk stood for – a sense of government with a clear moral purpose, in which there is daylight between public service and the commercial world.

Beware: NOT the complete treatise.
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
The translation is fairly good and then ... you come to note on pg 70 that says basically, "Oh, did we tell you that we skip all of Questions 101 through 104 and large parts of 100 and 105?"
Nope. So you do NOT get the entire "Treatise on Law" -- and they hide that fact. (I have seen other translations, but never have I seen one that excludes any of the questions.
Now I'm stuck with an incomplete version. Thanks.
One last thing: the paper quality is poor. Just about any pen you use for annotations will bleed through. The paper is CHEAP.
