Paperback. Condition: New. Lies and Falsehoods: The Morrison Government and The New Culture of Deceit by well-known political journalist Bernard Keane combines Crikey's eye-opening dossier of Scott Morrison's documented lies with Keane's insightful take on why deceivers dominate in the new era of politics. This book is the first… in The Crikey Read series by Crikey and Hardie Grant Books.All politicians lie. They twist the truth, exaggerate and spin. But blatant lying has now become a standard part of political discourse, led by Donald Trump and carried on by Boris Johnson and Scott Morrison. Combine this with an all-out assault on the truth in public debate along with the biggest communications revolution since the printing press, and you have a disaster in real time: a sea of fake news, hyper-partisanship and polarisation.No society or democracy can function without trust, and the consequences of this profound shift are clear. The first step to a remedy is in understanding both the liars and the environments in which they lie. Lies and Falsehoods does exactly that, in this highly readable and incisive account of how we found ourselves in this fractured post-truth world, and how we might get out.From Crikey and Hardie Grant Books, The Crikey Read is a series that brings an unflinching and truly independent eye to the issues of the day in Australia and the world.

Paperback. Condition: New. A tide of populism and xenophobia is sweeping the western world. Disillusioned voters are turning to political outsiders and increasingly rejecting the liberal economic solutions of out-of-touch elites. Despite having access to more information than at any time in human history, we are turning our back…s on experts, evidence and facts themselves in a new Era of Electronic Ignorance. Many warn darkly of a repeat of the chaos, misery and war of the 1930s.How did it all go so wrong? The Mess We're In explains how a perfect storm of historical developments has left us fearing that a Dark Age is fast approaching. How the triumphant economic philosophy of neoliberalism has failed us and provoked a backlash that is sweeping it aside. How the internet is rewiring our economies, our media, our culture and even our own brains. How politics has become a hollowed-out industry of self-interest rather than a public service. And how, together, they've unleashed a wave of anger and fear that has engulfed the world.But don't panic, says Bernard Keane: things are also better than they seem to be. In this fascinating, entertaining and occasionally maddening book, he points to how we can fix things - and also how Australia can lead the way.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. At the first-quarter mark of the 21st century, giant forces are reshaping our world. This Trump Moment marks a turning point in history. So far, Australia has played its hand pretty well.But beneath the military and economic conflicts grabbing the headlines, technological disruption is escal…ating; our population is ageing; the climate crisis is upon us; China is gathering power; and the US empire is retreating from its strategic role internationally and from democratic norms. In the face of these pressures, can Australia continue to be a lucky country? Bernard Keane draws on his experience within government and as a political commentator to outline how Australia can prosper in the next quarter century. He argues we have crucial advantages we can leverage-if we make smart decisions now.'He challenges myths left, right and centre in his determination to shed light on what is actually happening in our politics - and what must change if we want Australia's success to continue.' Sean Kelly'A positive, and surprisingly optimistic, set of ideas for improving Australia's political system.' Alan Kohler 'Seize the Moment provides the kind of new map that Australians need to navigate this new world disorder.' Richard Denniss'With political and planetary temperatures rising, Keane reminds us that cooler heads might just prevail.' Jack Toohey Australia is surviving the second coming of Trump, but our economy and our social cohesion are under pressure, and our political landscape is being reshaped. How do we turn this time of international crisis into a launchpad for success? Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

A description of our secondhand books is not always available. Please contact us if you have a question about this title. Author: Helen Razer Format: Pap…erback / softback Number of Pages: 336 How did everything get so dumb? How did we become hostages to idiocy? What must we do to be freed from a captor whose ransom note simply reads, 'D'oh'? The deteriorating quality of our public debate and the dwindling of common sense in media, politics and culture can drive you to despair and rage. It certainly drove writers Helen Razer and Bernard Keane to a desperate act: befriending each other for long enough to write a book. Join forces with these uneasy allies to fight against a world that has lost its reason. Explore what's behind the remorseless spread of idiocy, and why there's just so much damn Stupid around you. Stupid isn't just ignorance; it's not just laziness. Worse than the absence of thought, Stupid is a virus that drains our productivity and leaves us sick and diminished. And Stupid has a long, complex and terrible past, one we need to understand in order to defeat it. A Short History of Stupid traces the origins of this maddening ill, examining the different ways in which we've been afflicted over the last three thousand years. It damns those who have spread Stupid and celebrates the brave few who resisted. It shows how Stupid tightens the grubby grip of the foolish around our throats. Hilarious, smart, unpleasant, infuriating and rude, A Short History of Stupid is at once a provocation and a comfort. It will spark debate, soothe the terminally frustrated and outrage the righteously Stupid. It is a book whose Stupid time has come. Paperback.
