Publisher Description

Is Australia truly the Lucky Country? Can it reinvent itself for a sustainable future? In this thought-provoking analysis, Ian Lowe revisits Donald Horne's iconic critique, examining Australia's current state and future prospects. He argues that Australia's reliance on resource extraction and a lack of innovative leadership have created an illusion of progress, masking deeper problems.

Lowe challenges readers to confront critical issues: environmental degradation, social inequality, and the need for a new national identity. He proposes a path toward a more sustainable and equitable Australia, urging a revolution in economic priorities and a renewed focus on education and science.
