 note = {The Fiji economy underwent a major change in its economic policy approach in early 1980s. The move was away from the traditional Keynesian economics to one of a market-based growth and development. This new approach, based on the Neo-classical ideology, is broadly known as Neo-liberalism. However, over a decade of open economic policies, economic and social indicators reveal a worsening social scenario in Fiji. Poverty level has increased to 33%, about 20% of the children are malnourished, income inequality is increasing every year and
crime rate is at its highest ever. With a new  labor government elected in 1999, the 2000 budget delivered promised that the government would make a concerted move to refocus attention on the real needs of the people. This paper examines the budget to answer questions such as does the budget represent a new model of development? Has the
theory failed? These are some of the questions that the author examines in this paper.},
