| Summary |
"For 13 years, voters entrusted Labor with the stewardship of the national economy. The results of Labor's time in office are clear: a growing gap between rich and poor, persistent long-term unemployment, evaporating services across rural Australia, declining social cohesion and increasing vulnerability and insecurity for all but a privileged minority."--BOOK JACKET. "Out of the Rut analyses the failures of the Labor government and its Coalition successor, and derives genuinely alternative policies to get people back to work and to rebuild a fair society."--BOOK JACKET |
