Economic progress, social disquiet : the modern paradox - Oxford : Blackwell Publishers Limited, September 2001
Surveys of social attitudes are revealing a perhaps unprecendented paradox; a booming economy but persistent coummunity disquiet. The puzzling coincidence is fuelling interest in what is perhaps the ultimate public policy question: is life getting better - or wose? The relationship between economic growth and human development is not as clear-cut as convetional wisdom and government policy assume. Public opinion surveys suggest that the drinving dynamic in Australia and other Western societies in the early decades of the new will be a growing tension between value and lifestyles. How this tension is resolved will fundamentally determine national and global futures
