Examines middle Australia and how it is coping with the changes of economic reform. Meticulously researched, it mounts a moral and intellectual counter-argument to the regime of economic reform. A sequel to the best-selling Economic Rationalism in Canberra, Michael Pusey's book will be equally controversial.
This book puts middle Australia under the microscope, examining how quality of life is faring in the face of change and uncertainty. 400 Australians from around the country shared their experiences of work, family, and community for this book, creating a striking picture of Australian society into a new millennium. This lived experience is set against hard data so that we can truly understand the impact - good and bad - of economic restructuring on the broad Australian middle class. Meticulously researched, it mounts a moral and intellectual counter-argument to economic reform. A sequel to the best-selling Economic Rationalism in Canberra, Michael Pusey's book will be equally important.
