THINKBIG

Think Big

Think Big was an interventionist state economic strategy sponsored by the New Zealand Prime Minister Robert Muldoon and his New Zealand National Party government in the early 1980s. The Think Big schemes saw the government borrow heavily overseas, running up a large external deficit, and using the funds for large-scale industrial projects. Petrochemical and energy related projects figured prominently, designed to utilize New Zealand's abundant natural gas to produce ammonia, urea fertilizer, methanol and petrol.
