Books and reports: Freedom at Work: The Case for Reforming Labour Law in New Zealand 1 November 1990, Penelope Brook	View PDF
For society as a whole, good employment relationships promote productivity, innovation and economic growth. Penelope Brook argues that New Zealand's labour market laws as they evolved from the late nineteenth century turned workers and employers into adversaries and made victims of the very people they sought to protect. Dr Brook's solution is a labour law system that centres on freedom of association and contract and on the joint interests of firms and their employees in productive arrangements at the enterprise level.
