Class and struggle in Australia is written in a lively and accessible style and provides an integrated and coherent Marxist account of fundamental features of Australian politics and society. It emphasises that classes are not only objective aspects of society but are also capable of subjective action. How they behave and consciousness of them is shaped by peoples experience, especially of social struggles. A devastating examination of inequality and it’s causes in the Howard era. Class and struggle in Australia is a manual for those who want to understand growing social divisions and to do something about them.” pp. vii
