To Firmer Ground
Restoring Hope in Australia
John Langmore
In recent decades the quality of both personal and public life in Australia has been undermined by preoccupation with material prosperity and neglect of broader concerns. To Firmer Ground proposes an alternative vision that prioritizes the well-being of all citizens, the common good of society, and a national contribution to global peace and justice. It offers a hopeful vision and practical solutions to the issues confronting Australia that require immediate attention.
