"Michael Enright and Richard Petty articulate very well the challenges of an economy that needs to adapt to a changing global environment. The risk of complacency represents a challenge to Australia's future growth and prosperity. This book may be the most honest assessment I've seen in showing Australia how to prevent a dramatic reversal of fortune. I fear the consequences of ignoring such advice."
-Brett King, bestselling author of Bank 3.0
