Description: Sydney Allen & Unwin, 2003. Paperback trade, very good condition, tables, boxes, minor edgewear, top corner front cover & few pages lightly creased. 224 pp. In April 2002, the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research (at the University of Melbourne), and 'The Australian' newspaper held a conference about long overdue political, economic and social reform in Australia. This book summarises the results of the conference (rather than just presenting the papers delivered). Includes contributions from a wide range of leading thinkers across academia, politics, public service, business, unions, and community groups. Seeks to bridge the gap between political dialogue and real needs, it addressesunemployment and welfare reform, education and innovation, population policy and family, and aging and retirement. It concludes that, after a generation of market economic reform that has fostered a strong economy, there is a new approach emerging that places more emphasis on the human dimension.
