Explore the compelling narrative of 'Political Troglodytes and Economic Lunatics' by Dominic Kelly, a deep dive into the world of political activists who reshaped Australia's political landscape. Set against the backdrop of the mid-1980s, this thought-provoking trade paperback (UK edition) chronicles how Ray Evans and Hugh Morgan emerged as pivotal figures in the realm of political activism, challenging the status quo on industrial relations, Constitution matters, and climate change with fervor and conviction.Evans and Morgan weren't just activists; they were renegades who established influential organizations, lobbied extensively, and penned thought-provoking articles that resonated through the corridors of power. In their relentless pursuit of influence, they were dubbed 'political troglodytes and economic lunatics' by Bob Hawke, yet their contributions helped mold contemporary public policy.
This 256-page book is more than a historical account; it serves as a case study in how resilient individuals can evoke significant change in political culture. Kelly’s witty and analytical approach unravels the complexities behind their strategies, revealing the mechanics of political engagement that continue to hold relevance today. Perfect for readers interested in political history, activism, and Australian politics, this work is essential for understanding the foundations of modern political discourse. Grab your copy today and uncover the story of how determined minds can alter the course of history!

Incredibly well researched
Format: Paperback
Purchased in light of the current election fraud/security debates. I learned nothing so far is new. Data intensive. Can be dry at times, though many of the quotes from historical figures are revealing as to prevailing attitudes.

Excellent and thorough
This must be the definitive history of voting in America. I hold back from giving it five stars because it was a little more than what I was looking for, but this is as thorough as I have ever come across. Also, I love charts and graphs, and he has a great array of tables at the end. Interesting tidbit was the role war played throughout American history in expanding the right to vote. Also, though we all know how the right to vote gradually expanded, but what many of us didn't realize was how the right to vote actually shrunk at various points in American history. That is, some people who had the right to vote had it taken away at various moments in American history. When all is said and done, this is a great book.

read!
Format: Kindle
I had to read this book for a political theory class, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Keysarr did a great job of researching and writing it. It was not as dry as some of the other, similar books I've read. I would definitely recommend this one, even if it's not for a class.
