    About this ebook

    This book is for Politicians, Social Scientists, Economists, the Wealthy, the Middle Class, Workers, Activists, Students & the Disadvantaged. As well as those who care about people and the planet. Something like the Benefit and Income Tax changes suggested here are urgently needed because of the Covid19 pandemic. They give new meaning to "Negative Income Tax".
    Various solutions to inequality have been promulgated. Some have been advocated for many decades and are now gaining greater traction. Many of these ideas have had extensive coverage at a philosophical level but almost nothing has been published about the practical difficulties of the detailed design, costs, funding, political acceptability and transition from the present systems. This book explores some of the systems used by the New Zealand and other Governments which contribute to the continued rise in inequality and attempts to provide a "sketch plan" of some of the work that is required to make the dreams come true.

    Perce Harpham

    Born in 1932 in New Zealand Perce graduated with degrees in Chemical Engineering and Mathematics (M.Sc)then worked for a subsidiary of Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) ( Dulux New Zealand Ltd) for 14 years. He was moved to the United Kingdom and then Australia as Operations Research Officer. He returned to New Zealand to progress through Production Manager at Lower Hutt for Dulux Paints Ltd and then Management Services Manager responsible for the fourth computer to be installed in New Zealand. He had made his first contact with computers in 1957 while in the UK.Perce started the first computer software company (Progeni) in NZ in 1968. Progeni prospered and Perce setup subsidiaries in Australia, the USA and China. Following the financial crash of 1987 Progeni, in 1989, was "collateral damage" in the failure of the Bank of New Zealand. Seehttps://perce.harpham.nz/The story of Progeni.pdfPerce started again with some success, qualified as a Mediator & Arbitrator and devoted more time to his family and grandchildren, sailing and other pursuits. These include an interest in politics and acting as an arbitrator and mediator. He enjoys cruising in yachts.Perce was a parliamentary candidate for the Green Party in 2002 then spent some 15 years with the Labour Party. Because of the highly unethical way in which the Labour Government is destroying democracy and creating racial divisions by giving legal rights to Maori instead of having one law for all he cannot remain in that party and will probably not join any party but suggest things to all parties as in his new book Nutopia.Perce's wife, Myra, also once had a high public profile as co-director of New Zealand's Commission for the Future. They have been married for 66 years. They have 3 children, 8 grandchildren and 4 great grand-children.
