Rottenomics
The Story of New Zealand's Leaky Buildings Disaster
By Peter Dyer.

Publisher:
David Bateman, 2019.

Near new softback, no inscriptions.
For over a quarter century our building industry, economy and Government have failed to provide this basic guarantee: new buildings will not rot. Leaky buildings are the result of an unfortunate confluence of industrial, legislative, historical and cultural factors. Collectively, these elements stubbornly continue to defy a full and final resolution.

Featuring personal stories of homeowners faced with insurmountable repair costs of hundreds of thousands to their `dream home', often leading to sickness, depression and financial loss. And revealed for the first time, a withheld government report from which the author extrapolates the total cost of leaky dwellings at over $47 billion.

Rottenomics is an engaging expose into a national crisis that refuses to go away.
