The lucky country revisited

by Donald Horne

The Lucky Country provoked and entertained. The Lucky Country Revisited, with the benefit of hindsight, also explains. It is the work not only of Horne the contemporary commentator and prophet but also of Horne the historian. Donald Horne has drawn on The Lucky Country's analysis of the 1960s and added some of the memories of those times—of Johnny O'Keefe, the protest marches, the mini skirt, the beginnings of the women's movement—and, above all, many illuminating insights into those aspects of Australia, both good and bad, which have made it what it is today—especially in its present economic crisis.
