To commemorate the launch of Jane Kelsey's new book, The Fire Economy, the author will be speaking at a public event at Old Government House on Wednesday, 15 July.

Jane Kelsey is Professor of Law at the University of Auckland and one of New Zealand's foremost social commentators. Facilitating the talk will be Janet McLean, Associate Dean (Research) of the University of Auckland's Law Faculty.

The Fire Economy: New Zealand's Reckoning is a timely interrogation of the neoliberal project in New Zealand in 2015. Forceful, urgent and impeccably researched, it is a book for anyone concerned about our country's precarious future at a time of international turmoil.

This discussion of The Fire Economy and its wider context is open to all. Refreshments will be served.
