Seize the future : how Australia can prosper in the new century Alan Oxley Published by Allen & Unwin (2000) |
Book description
A book about the emergence of a new global culture and why Australia is virtually purpose built to succeed
in it.
The world will change in the new millennium. The Information Age has arrived and it will shape a new global
community. The centre of world activity is shifting from the Atlantic to the Pacific - how will Australia cope
in this globalised world, located in a region increasingly dominated by rich and confident Asian nations?
The future is brighter than most Australians realise. Australia has worked through a crisis of confidence
which began in the 80s and ended with Hansonism. It has remade itself. It now has competitive
manufacturers, it has conquered its Asian bogey and it has shaken off the Lucky Country mentality. It is
better wired than most for the Information Age which has ended Australia's global isolation. So equipped,
drawing the strengths of its western culture, Australia has become a global nation, one of the nations which
will succeed in the new century. Seize the Future explains why Australia can rebuild employment and
prosperity and create its third golden age. It also warns how it could all go wrong.
