| Description | Book Launch - The Sweet Spot: How Australia Made Its Own Luck - And Could Now Throw It All Away by Peter Hartcher
Join Asialink for the Melbourne launch of The Sweet Spot, launched by The Hon. John Brumby and featuring a conversation between Peter Hartcher and ABC television's Jim Middleton.
Hartcher argues that Australia's prosperity was not built on dumb luck. In a time when the authoritarian success story of China is strong, Australia is a contrasting model. Is it perfect? Of course not. But on some of the most important and apparently intractable problems of the modern world, Australia, believe it or not, is as good as it gets. And the beaches aren't bad either.
Copies of The Sweet Spot will be available for purchase on the evening and Peter Hartcher will be signing copies of the book.
