    Doing it well, and doing it better than the others are often not the same thing.

    So, Gordon, which of your measures applies to that article?

    Note that a number of the criteria measured claim that NZ does it
    better. I don't particularly support the conclusions the article
    reaches but I do question the basis of your statement.

    A propoerty bubble and a race to the bottom with wages and
    productivity are not necessarily "Doing it well".
