Anderton: His Life and Times by David Grant

anticonstitutionnellement's review

4.0

fantastic read!! i’m either a thoroughly boring person or the way this man writes just makes you want to stay up into the wee hours of the morning reading about universal student loans and paid parental leave. JIM ANDERTON!! what an iconic figure in new zealand politics, reading the alliance’s 1993 manifesto just wanted to make me scream it had so many good policies. that progressive taxation system makes me want to frolic around in a field somewhere. on an aside, there was an odd amount of typos e.g 9/11 did not happen on September 2 and a few others…other than that this book was a masterclass of political biography.
