| Summary |
"Malcolm Fraser believes passionately that, whatever our politics, humanitarian issues are the 'common ground' we all share. Here his thoughtful and often provocative analysis of issues ranging from the role of the United Nations to globalisation, from multiculturalism to the urgent need for reconciliation, reveals a man who cares deeply about Australia, its people and its place in the world. In this timely book, Fraser explores: how Australia is positioned in the Asian region and within a new world order; whether globalisation can work for rich and poor alike, rather than creating greater inequality and environmental degradation; why governments that claim to take a global view of money should also take a compassionate, global view of people; and why reconcilliation is essential for a humane, generous and fair Australia." -- BOOK JACKET |
