Race Mathews in conversation with Barry Jones

Wednesday 3 May, 6.30pm
Readings Hawthorn

What will work look like in the future? Race Mathews, former chief of staff for Gough Whitlam, responds to Australia’s precipitous decline in active citizenship (and its causes) in his book Of Labour and Liberty: Distributism in Victoria 1891-1966. In this stimulating conversation with Barry Jones, they’ll explore potential solutions to a contemporary problem, drawing on their decades of experience in policy and politics.

Free, but please book here.
