Summary

Great New Zealand argument brings together essays and speeches spanning nearly 70 years, by some of New Zealand's best writers and opinion leaders. Their work is by turns thoughtful, visionary, provocative and amusing. Much of it is either previously unpublished or long out of print. All of it speaks to us today.
