The Lucky Country? PDF
by Ian Lowe
- Information
Description
Can we reinvent the Lucky Country? Fifty years ago author Donald Horne described Australia as 'a lucky country run by second-rate people', adding that our leaders are mostly unaware of events that surround them.
The good fortune continued when our wide brown land proved to contain bountiful resources of saleable minerals, allowing successive generations of second-rate leaders to create an illusion of economic progress by liquidating those assets.
But a crisis is approaching, driven by irresponsible encouragement of population growth rates typical of poor developing countries.
In this polemic work, Ian Lowe will assess the state of Australia and whether we can retain our status of the Lucky Country.
