Grattan’s annual Prime Minister’s Reading List contains books and articles that we believe the Prime Minister – or indeed any Australian – will find stimulating over the summer break.
They’re all good reads that we think say something interesting about Australia and its future. The 2011 Prime Minister’s Summer Reading List includes:
- Fair share, Judith Brett (Quarterly Essay 42, 2011)
- Cities for people, Jan Gehl (Island Press, 2010)
- There goes the neighbourhood, Michael Wesley (University of New South Wales, 2011)
- Balancing the risks, benefits and costs of homeland security, John Mueller and Mark G. Stewart
- The rational optimist, Matt Ridley (Fourth Estate, 2010)
- Cold light, Frank Moorhouse (Random House Australia, 2011)
