This is a cautionary tale. About greed, irresponsibility and
failing to learn from the past. Australia's mining boom is still
talked about with a sense of awe. This once-in-a-lifetime event
capped off 25 straight years of economic growth. Thanks to mining
we sidestepped the worst of the Global Financial Crisis. To the
rest of the world Australia was an economic miracle. And then the
boom ended. Now Australia is grappling with what that means at a
time of rising economic inequality and political upheaval. The end
of the boom isn't about money - it's about people. Boom and Bust
looks at what happens to those who came into vast wealth only to
watch it dry up. To those who thought they had a good job for life,
but didn't. The bust didn't just happen on stock-market screens -
it was lived, and is still being lived right now, in dusty towns
and cities all around the country. As he did in his bestselling
book The Death of Holden, Royce Kurmelovs reveals the reality
behind the headlines. Boom and Bust is a dirt-under-the-nails look
at the winners, the losers and the impact of the boom that wasn't
meant to end. This is a book all Australians should read.
'Brilliant and powerful' Nick Xenophon on Royce Kurmelovs' THE
DEATH OF HOLDEN
