Publisher Description
The authorities on all things bogan and authors of THINGS BOGANS LIKE are back with an historical, sociological, geographic and cultural study that traces bogan culture back to society's very foundation.
Identifying prototypical and stereotypical bogans through time, they examine the bogan of the 19th century and their pre-war descendants, before moving onto the speciman often considered the quintessential bogan, identified by a love of '80s metal, flannelette and Victoria Bitter. They then track the bogan's leap into the 21st century - where they can be seen across the country, clad in garish garb, holding their nationalism close to their chest, and slavishly following every celebrity trend.
BOGANOMICS is an important book for all Australians as understanding is the bridge to unity. Read this book to broaden your knowlege ... or to laugh ... a lot.
Customer Reviews
Should be mandatory reading in our schools
At last there is someone brave enough to give Australians a reality check, and wipe the smile off some... Although most readers will have a good laugh.
Excellently written and insightful. There are so many attributes to boganism that another book is inevitable.
Keep it coming guys...
Guide book to Idiots
Ever get frustrated by abusive hoons in traffic; or defending yourself at a bar for merely ordering a drink?!
This book will explain why, in a very funny manner!!
Hilarity through truth
Things Bogans Like is one of my favorite books, which is amazing, for it is not a film, nor was it promote by a celebrity. A maxtreme look into bogan culture and hypocrisy, I could smugly laugh at people who had massive biceps, and drank massive cans.
Boganomics takes an entirely new direction with this semi-series. It mixes economic fact with social observation, and makes some of the best comedic and factual reading. It is recommended that one reads Things Bogans Like before reading Boganomics - there are many references and tie in jokes.
