THE REVOLVING DOOR OF POLITICS IN NZ AND OVERSEAS

THE TERM ‘ Paradigm Shift’ was first coined by Thomas Khun an American Historian, this refers to the theories around  contradictions, accumulations and violations of  markets in the future, yet to come

The Paradigm Shift is referred to as ‘Uncertainties’ references made to corporations, business people CEO’s entering politics.

George W  Bush previously also ran large companies. Corporates sitting in the front seat of the political governance of a country and politicians as back seat passengers. Governments that rewards corporations as in Public-Private Partnerships of Multi-stakeholder Capitalism (or should I say Communism). The bureaucratic geopolitical regimes, and their asset manager such as BlackRock
