The Land of Plenty: Australia in the 2000s by Mark Davis

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges with left back cover corner bent.

This book tells the story of Australia today, how we got here, and where we're going. A blistering expose and manifesto for every Australian. In The Land of Plenty, Mark Davis argues that this dream has been forsaken.

Over the past few decades, Australians have felt the ground shift beneath their feet. Many people ask why Australia is no longer the egalitarian place it once was. While the airwaves sing and newspaper front pages burst with the news of how prosperous Australians are, many people wonder why they are working harder and longer for so little while important social agendas have fallen by the wayside.

The Land of Plenty is at once a devastating record of the changes that have taken place in Australian society since the 1980s and a goldmine of ideas for change. Insightful, provocative and thoroughly original, The Land of Plenty is a manifesto for our times. (back cover)
