‘the nation’s most prophetic economist’—Ross Gittins

‘a must-read for anyone concerned with the economic and social future of
Australia’—Bob Hawke

‘a brilliant guide to the future of the Australian economy’—Max Corden

The Dog Days are on their way, so says Ross Garnaut, one of Australia’s most
influential economists.

Australians have just lived through a period of exceptional prosperity but are we
ready for the challenges we face after the boom?’

In Dog Days, Garnaut explains how we got here, what we can expect next and the
tough choices we need to make to survive the new economic conditions. Are we
clever enough – and our leaders courageous enough – to change what needs to be
changed and preserve a fair and prosperous Australia?

This is a book about the future by a leading adviser to government and business,
someone with a proven record of seeing where the nation is going. Both forecast
and analysis, it heralds a new era for Australia after the boom.
