Equality Speaks
Challenges for a Fair Society
Australia may have dodged the bullet that has put the US, Britain and most European economies on life support, but this new collection of essays argues that - despite our enviable economic position - Australia is not the egalitarian paradise that many believe it to be.
Equality Speaks features an eclectic mix of writers who highlight a common challenge - to use our (relatively) stable economic times to make the shift to a fairer Australia. It includes new research on the distribution of wealth in Australia. And it brings together some of our sharpest minds to look at paths to a more equal Australia in areas like transport, homelessness, education, women, tax, refugees, work and employment amongst others.
This is a great resource for anyone with an interest in social policy and a concern about justice for our communities.
