All That's Left: What Labor Should Stand for

Bys: Nick Dyrenfurth and Tim Soutphommasane

After some Tumultuous months and an historic 2010 election result that many proclaim as heralding the end of two-party politics, people are asking what being a Labor progressive means. Indeed, what does it mean to belong to the Left in the 21st century? This book, featuring Australia's leading social democrats, tackles that question and many more. What should Labor stand for today? Is the size of government a meaningful test of social democratic success? What is the meaning of social justice? Can we actually talk of progressive economics'? Are environmental issues transforming Left politics beyond recognition? Have progressives run out of ideas to address Indigenous disadvantage? Why is education so central to Centre-Left politics? This book provides compelling reading for those in search of answers to these questions at a time when they have never bee Book jacket.
