The Price of Paradise

The Price of Paradise Volume I (Mutual Publishing 1992) and The Price of Paradise Volume II (Mutual Publishing 1993) are anthologies of provocative essays about Hawaii’s most controversial policy issues.  They remain relevant 30 years later.

The Price of Paradise Radio Show aired live on Hawaii Public Radio from 1993 to 1998 with a goal of generating lively and informed dialogue on controversial issues confronting Hawaii (see topics, guests, dates, and audio recordings of the 221 shows).  

POP ’94 was a community effort to focus the 1994 gubernatorial race on issues of greatest importance to the public. See 12-minutes video of TV news coverage, executive summary, and detailed report. The winner of that election, Ben Cayetano, submitted a POP Accountability Report two years later.
