Dog days

Australia after the boom

Edición de la obra Dog days

After the resources boom, where is Australia heading? Australians have just lived through a period of exceptional prosperity, but we can no longer assume that living standards will inevitably keep rising. Commodity prices are dropping and the boom is set to end. Are we ready for the challenges ahead? In Dog Days, Ross Garnaut explains how we got here, what we can expect in the future, why reform is harder now than in previous decades, and how we can make the tough choices we need to survive the downturn. Are we clever enough - and our leaders brave enough - to change what needs to be changed and accept the need for shared sacrifice? This is a broad-ranging book about Australia's future by a leading adviser to government and business, someone with a proven record of seeing where Australia is heading. Both forecast and analysis, it heralds a new era for Australia after the boom.
