Australia at the Crossroads: Radical Free Market Or a Progressive Liberalism?

Front Cover
Allen & Unwin, 1998 - Business & Economics - 295 pages
Australia at the Crossroads is a comprehensive and systematic critique of the radical free market agenda, and a warning against the false dawn offered by that or any other form of economic extremism. It opts squarely for the progressive liberal path - one which will safeguard the 'fair go' society which Australians take pride in, without impairing our capacity to further improve living standards.
