Griffith Review: Still the Lucky Country?

The celebrated quarterly literary journal comes to the Wheeler Centre, with the proud launch of Griffith REVIEW 28: Still the Lucky Country?

As Australia enjoys the fruits of another mining boom the irony may finally have been removed from Donald Horne’s famous line. The opportunities and challenges of the new resources economy are fabulous, but demand more than luck. At stake is a gamble that may profoundly change the country, and the way we think about ourselves.

Contributors to Griffith REVIEW 28: Still the Lucky Country? Glyn Davis, Marcia Langton and Dennis Altman, explore the issues with editor Julianne Schultz.
