Description
Discover the profound insights in 'Wrong Way: How Privatisation and Economic Reform Backfired,' a seminal work exploring the unintended consequences of neoliberal economic policies in Australia since the 1980s. This critical analysis, penned by Australia’s foremost economists and public thinkers, delves deep into the landscape reshaped by privatisation, deregulation, and marketisation. Over the past three decades, these economic reforms have been heralded as the keys to efficiency and service enhancement, yet this book raises pivotal questions: Are the benefits as significant as claimed? Have these changes led to enhanced competition and productivity as promised?
In 'Wrong Way', the authors reveal a different story, highlighting the rise of unaccountable oligopolies, soaring prices, and the erosion of the public good. With compelling evidence and a thorough cost-benefit analysis, this book scrutinizes key sectors such as energy, finance, health, education, and labour markets. Experience a thought-provoking journey that will reshape your understanding of economic reform's impact on Australian society. With 336 pages of in-depth examination and expert opinions, 'Wrong Way' is a must-read for anyone interested in economics, public policy, and the future of Australia's socio-economic landscape.
