摘要：INSeptember 1997, New Zealanders voting in a referendum rejected by a huge margin a proposed Retirement Saving Scheme, a compulsory, funded and pri-vate income-retirement arrangement designed eventually to replace the coun-try's generous pay-as-you-go national superannuation scheme. Michael Littlewood was a leading advocate of the 'no' vote. In his book (of which the British edition is essentially an abridged version) he puts forward a programme for converting New Zealand Superannuation (NZS) into an Australian-style means-tested safety net, while shifting working people's saving efforts very largely into private, funded but voluntary pension schemes.
