Mess We're in: How Our Politics Went to Hell and Dragged Us with It

More about the book

The book explores the rise of populism and xenophobia in the western world, examining the disillusionment with traditional political elites and the rejection of liberal economic solutions. It discusses the failures of neoliberalism, the impact of the internet on society, and the transformation of politics into a self-serving industry. Despite the chaos and fear reminiscent of the 1930s, the author argues that there are still reasons for hope and outlines potential solutions, highlighting how Australia could play a pivotal role in leading positive change.
