Can we reinvent the Lucky Country? Fifty years ago author Donald Horne described
Australia as 'a lucky country run by second-rate people', adding that our
leaders are mostly unaware of events that surround them. The good fortune
continued when our wide brown land proved to contain bountiful resources of
saleable minerals, allowing successive generations of second-rate leaders to
create an illusion of economic progress by liquidating those assets. But a
crisis is approaching, driven by irresponsible encouragement of population
growth rates typical of poor developing countries. In this polemic work, Ian
Lowe will assess the state of Australia and whether we can retain our status of
the Lucky Country.
