WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Charlton shows … a rare lucidity … a welcome addition to an important national debate.

Australian Book Review

With appealing compression and clarity, Andrew Charlton addresses the impact of China’s economic boom and examines Australia’s economic future as the yin to China’s yang … he shows how the mining boom in Australia has damaged other sectors of the economy and why it will leave us exposed when – or if – the crash comes.
