From a position of doubting whether change was possible, he eventually became a proponent of the sensible reform necessary for Australia to prosper in a changing world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Horne made the case for a more open, modern, intelligent Australia, most famously in his seminal book \u003ci\u003eThe Lucky Country\u003c\/i\u003e. Selections from this work sit alongside pithy reflections on Australian history and culture, as well as vivid autobiographical writing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With an introduction by Nick Horne and a biographical essay by Glyn Davis, this important book honours and illuminates the man who helped the nation understand itself. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ‘He was a great clarifier ... of many of the problems and dilemmas of society.’ —Frank Moorhouse \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ‘An independent, vigorous critic.’ —Malcolm Fraser \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Donald Horne AO was a leading public intellectual for nearly fifty years.
