The Experience of Middle Australia

This book puts middle Australia under the microscope, examining how quality of life is faring in the face of change and uncertainty. Four hundred Australians from around the country shared their experiences of work, family and community for this book, creating a striking picture of Australian society as it heads into a new century. 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. Following on from the groundbreaking success of Economic Rationalism in Canberra, Michael Pusey's new book will be equally important.
