The class divides of yesteryear have been replaced new divisions between Inners and Outers. This divide is ripping apart our political parties, national debate, and social fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInners are highly educated inner-city progressive cosmopolitans who value change, diversity, and self-actualisation. Inners, despite being a minority, dominate politics on both sides, the bureaucracy, universities, civil society, corporates, and the media. They have created a society ruled by educated elites - that is, ruled by themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOuters are the instinctive traditionalists who value stability, safety, and unity. Outers are politically, culturally, and economically marginalised in today's graduate-dominated knowledge society era. Their voice is muzzled in public debate, driving disillusionment with the major parties, and record levels of frustration, disengagement, and pessimism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn an era of global political upheaval, \u003cem\u003eDemocracy in a Divided Australia\u003c\/em\u003e is the first empirically grounded investigation of Australia's political tribes, the capture of policymaking by a new elite, and charting of a path forward in a divided nation built on the five pillars of \u003cem\u003eLiberal Populism\u003c\/em\u003e: Egalitarianism, Localism, Freedom, Dignity and Unity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 296\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.62 x 8.27 x 5.83 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 12, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45328110682191,"sku":"9781925826104","price":47.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/3083\/3487\/files\/CBcXLtlxa19781925826104.webp?v=1780001761","url":"https:\/\/lumaryon.com\/products\/democracy-in-a-divided-australia-paperback","provider":"Lumaryon Universal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
