Politics, Society, Self: Occasional Writings (Signed copy)

Since retiring as Premier of Western Australia in 2006, Geoff Gallop has returned to his pre-political career as an academic.

In the role of public intellectual — his post-political thinking — he has focused on matters of the self in society: of contemporary politics, pragmatics, fundamentalism, fairness, and the meaning and importance of well-being for public policy and the person.

From the international, to the national, and down to the individual, Gallop brings a measured voice to debates that are universal, relevant and personal.

Gathered from public speeches and newspaper columns, along with new essays, the chapters include: ‘The World Today’, ‘Putting the Public Sector to Work’, ‘Rights and Responsibilities’ and ‘A Fair Society’. pp. 325 #0420 Signed by Author
