The Lucky Country? Reinventing Australia

Is Australia truly the Lucky Country? In this thought-provoking analysis, Ian Lowe revisits Donald Horne's iconic phrase to examine Australia's current state and future prospects. Lowe argues that Australia's reliance on resource extraction and a lack of visionary leadership have created a precarious situation. He explores the challenges of environmental degradation, social inequality, and the need for a new national identity.

• Understand the key issues facing Australia in the 21st century
• Discover alternative paths towards a sustainable and equitable future
• Be inspired to take action and shape a better Australia

For thoughtful Australians concerned about the nation's future, The Lucky Country? offers a compelling call to reinvent Australia and build a more sustainable and just society.
