• Since retiring as Premier of Western Australia in 2006, Geoff Gallop has returned to his pre-political career as an academic.

  In the role of public intellectual — his post-political thinking — he has focused on matters of the self in society: of contemporary politics, pragmatics, fundamentalism, fairness, and the meaning and importance of well-being for public policy and the person.

  From the international, to the national, and down to the individual, Gallop brings a measured voice to debates that are universal, relevant and personal.

  Gathered from public speeches and newspaper columns, along with new essays, the chapters include: ‘The World Today’, ‘Putting the Public Sector to Work’, ‘Rights and Responsibilities’ and ‘A Fair Society’.
