New Zealand Prime Minister John Key speaks a strange language. It’s English, all right, even with an accent, but he is one of the only world leaders who is speaking of relaxing regulations, cutting taxes, spending within budget, and focusing on making his country more productive.

Rather than jumping on the tax, borrow, spend, print, populist bandwagon with nearly every other world leader, John Key’s solution to the tough times is to “use this time to transform the economy to make us stronger so that when the world starts growing again we can be running faster than other countries we compete with.”

Key’s idea is to grow the country out of recession by improving productivity, not simply catering to populist calls for wealth redistribution, stifling regulation, and growth-inhibiting class warfare taxes. He calls attempts to use debt and money printing to “prop up growth” risky, saying that saddling future generations with debt could be counterproductive. He is one of the only politicians who states “There is actually a limit to what governments can do.”

At a time when governments are growing by leaps and bounds, and everyone seems convinced that Big Brother holds the keys to economic prosperity, it is refreshing to see a world leader (actually an ex-currency trader) embrace sound economic principals.

Key admits that New Zealand will not pull the world out of recession; it’s too bad other leaders lack such humility!

Here’s a link to the Wall Street Journal interview with Key.
