Mikey McGee was a happy boy who loved his dad and mommy, his big brother, and his dog and cat. Oh, how the boy loved to play. Even when he woke up during the night, he loved to get out of his yellow bed and play with his toys.
All was well with Mikey until two monsters named Batrocks and Greenie came into his bedroom one night. And this was the beginning of his troubles. They kept coming back, scaring the boy, night after night.
Finally, Mikey told his dad about the monsters, and like a good father, he tried to explain that Batrocks and Greenie were not real but were just dreams.
Mikey insisted the monsters were real. His dad understood that they seemed real to his son and patiently helped Mikey learned Batrocks and Greenie were just dreams.

In this study, historian and former politician Michael Bassett, explores how and why the state became such an active and interventionist player in New Zealand life, developing, subsidizing and regulating the economy, and increasingly protecting citizens from the cradle to the grave. It looks in detail at the many schemes in which a paternalistic government became involved, especially the extensive social programmes taken for granted by the people but from the 1960s increasingly difficult to sustain economically. Bassett makes heavy use of departmental archives and concludes that the continuing process of intervention had to be halted.
