Socialist Book Club - The Neighbour from Hell: two centuries of Australian imperialism

This May, we'll be discussing Tom O'Lincoln's book The Neighbour from Hell: Two Centuries of Australian Imperialism.

Imperialism has long been the subject of sharp debates. Tom O’Lincoln offers an original study of Australia’s ruthless participation in the imperialist system. Left analysts have often accused Australia’s rulers of being ‘lapdogs’ for the great powers, notably the US and the UK. O’Lincoln’s analysis gives us a very different portrayal: of a ruling class out to extract maximum benefits for itself from calculated interventions into the conflicts wracking global capitalism.
