In this compelling and deeply personal critique, Dennis Glover challenges the prevailing obsession with productivity that has defined Australian economic policy for the past thirty years. He argues that the relentless pursuit of growth, driven by the concept of "creative destruction," has come at a catastrophic human cost. By documenting the decline of once-prosperous industrial heartlands and the fracturing of working-class communities, Glover exposes how the managerialist class has abandoned a genuine moral commitment to society.
The book serves as a powerful indictment of a system that prioritises fiscal outcomes over the wellbeing of citizens. It calls for a fundamental reassessment of the national ethos, urging a move away from the singular focus on individual wealth towards a collective vision of equality and common purpose. Glover’s insightful analysis provides a vital contribution to the national conversation, demanding that we rethink our priorities to ensure a future designed to benefit all Australians, not merely a privileged few. This is an essential read for anyone concerned about the social fabric of modern Australia and the true meaning of a healthy society.
