By
Mark Latham, Gough Whitlam (Foreword by)

An assessment of how Australia might renew its social democracy. The author's ideas stem from the new radical centre, a rejection of outdated claims of both a rampant free market and an overbearing state paternalism. Declaring as irrelevant the old politics of the Left/Right divide, he embraces values of social and community responsibility, public mutuality, equality of access and recognition of effort. As he is touted the future leader of the ALP, Latham's ideas are more than rhetorical interest, and will be keenly sought by ALP members and anyone intersted in Australia's political future. |
