The Māori Green Lantern"PIKETTY'S MAP, OUR TERRITORY: The Economists Finally Arrived. They Were 200 Years Late and Our Tamariki Are Still Hungry." - 24 June 2026
NEW ESSAY: PIKETTY'S MAP, OUR TERRITORY
The World Inequality Lab wants to tax billionaires, end GDP worship, and fund a just world. A former Reserve Bank chairman called it "dreamland."
Māori have been living this kaupapa since before 1840.
The receipts:
📌 1 in 4 tamariki Māori in material hardship
📌 $102.1B held by 119 NZ families
📌 $2.6B on combat helicopters this year
📌 $624M Māori housing — scrapped
This essay names the crimes. Names the beneficiaries. Names the whānau being destroyed.
