Paperback. Zustand: Good. 240 pages. cover corner worn, inside cover lightly tannedIn the tradition of Paul Mason's Postcapitalism: A Guide to Our Future and Ru tger Bregman's Utopia for Realists: And How We Can Get ThereAffluenza is the empty sense we feel when our wasteful consumerist lifestyle leaves us dissat isfied and unfulfilled. How can we cureourselves of this strikingly modern affli ction? According to Richard Denniss, we must distinguish between consumerism, th e love of buying things, which is undeniably harmful to us and to the planet, an d materialism, the love of things, which can in fact be beneficial. In this spar kling book of ideas, he shows why we must cherish the things that we own ? pre serve them, maintain them, and then gift them or sell them when we no longer hav e a need for them. If we as a society do not cure ourselves of affluenza, we mak e it impossible for all the people of our planet to enjoy a higher standard of l iving, and we condemn our environment to a polluted and unsustainable future.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Scott Morrison wants to spend a lot more money on defence, the business community wants more spending on infrastructure and education, an ageing population wants better health and aged care, and young Australians want more action on climate change and affordable housing. Each problem requires more public spending, but for decades Australians have been told that the less government spends, the better their lives will be.Furthermore, while spending more money will be essential to fund more submarines, aged-care nurses and infrastructure, money alone will not solve the problems faced by Australia. Decades of declining standards of accountability and transparency, of privatisation, deregulation and tax cuts, combined with a lack of energy in strengthening the positive role of government, have led to apathy among the public and parliamentarians. We have allowed our public institutions to shrink and atrophy, and our creativity to wane in choosing not just which services government should provide but how best to provide them.There is a clear alternative: follow the lead of the Nordic countries in the provision of great public health, education, housing and infrastructure, and in doing so boost economic productivity and deliver higher standards of living at lower cost.It is time to jettison the obsession with the 'unfinished reform agenda' of the 1990s, to consider the breadth and depth of the new challenges confronting Australia, and to chart a course in which governments take more responsibility for solving the problems that will dominate Australian lives in the years ahead. We must abandon decades of denial that the public sector can play a bigger and better role in improving our lives. To build the bigger government these times demand, we must first abandon the baggage of the past.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Economics is like a tyre lever: it can be used to solve a problem, or to beat someone over the head.'What is econobabble We hear it every day, when politicians and commentators use incomprehensible economic jargon to dress up their self-interest as the national interest, to make the absurd seem inevitable or the inequitable seem fair. This book exposes the stupid arguments, bizarre contradictions and complete lack of evidence upon which much 'common sense' about the economy rests in Australia.Econobabble is for those who, deep down, have never believed that it makes sense, economic or otherwise, to help poor people by slashing public spending on the services they need. It's for those who have a sneaking suspicion that it would be cheaper to avoid the effects of climate change than to let them happen and then 'adapt'. And it's for those who think pitting public health and aged care against the economy is a false dilemma, one that's short-sighted, callous and potentially dangerous.In this new edition, Richard Denniss demolishes the tired and misleading arguments of right-wing economic 'experts' with humour and precision, empowering you to cut through the babble and reach the truth.…
