Griffith Review 52: Imagining the Future

Australian politics and national life are trapped in a permanent present. There are few opportunities to imagine the future, and even fewer to create it. Politics, commerce, media all focus relentlessly on the here and now. This breeds a corrosive cynicism. Yet when alternatives are presented they are often embraced and quickly become the new normal. Griffith Review 52: Imagining the Future imagines new possibilities and includes pieces from Al Gore, Tim Flannery, Maria Tumarkin, Anthony Funnel, Margaret Simons and Tony Birch.
