Sunday profile: Pala Molisa – a radical accountant’s eye on social justice

Pala Molisa is the son of two of the leading lights of Vanuatu’s independence movement, onetime Vanua’aku Pati cabinet minister Sela Molisa and civil servant and author/poet Grace Molisa.

He represented Vanuatu in weightlifting at the Commonwealth Games, and he is an advocate of a radical new accountancy that brings a whole raft of social indicators to your typical balance sheet.

Dr Pala Molisa is currently a lecturer at Victoria University Business School in Wellington, New Zealand, and talks to RNZ Sunday presenter Wallace Chapman about his critical ideas on neoliberalism.
