It discusses three potential economic scenarios: a moderate "Goldilocks" scenario, a worse "Big Bad Wolf" scenario where debt burdens cause slow growth, and an uncertain "Sleeping Beauty" scenario. It also covers topics like deleveraging, the hollowing out of New Zealand's income and population, an aging society, and social unrest among youth.
