Sinossi
The fiscally conservative and socially progressive Peter Costello is Australia's longest-serving treasurer?from 1994 to 2007?and in his political memoirs he reflects on the role of his political party, his more than 30 years of service to the Liberal cause, and his possible future role in politics. Costello was the architect of the goods-and-service tax that helped eliminate public-sector debt and a supporter the referendum suggesting that Australia become a republic. As deputy leader of the Liberal Party for more than a decade, he worked with significant Liberal leaders including John Howard, Alexander Downer, John Hewson, and Andrew Peacock. This invaluable narrative that combines a first-person memoir with a third-person perspective offers insight into a successful partnership with John Howard, which led to four election victories and the longest period of economic prosperity in Australian history.

Hardcover. Condizione: USED_VERYGOOD. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. First Edition. Hardcover. 386 pages. *** PUBLISHING DETAILS: Melbourne University Press, Australia, 2008. First Edition. *** CONDITION: The book itself is in very good condition and comes in near fine dust jacket. More specifically: Boards have no wear, rubbing or soiling. Edges of dust jacket have light bumping. . Edges of pages are reasonably browned. Remainder mark on page edges. . Clipped front end page. *** ABOUT THIS BOOK: The Costello Memoirs is a frank and fearless look inside the engine-room of the Liberal Party and the Howard Government. In a political career spanning eighteen years, Peter Costello, Australia's longest serving Treasurer, steered the Government through some of its greatest economic and political challenges, paying off Government debt, introducing the GST and fighting five elections. What were the backroom deals that made the GST possible? How did Costello transform the Australian economy from Asia's 'white trash' into the economic powerhouse able to withstand the financial meltdown of the late 1990s? What did Costello make of the Liberal Leaders he served with, and why did he find it so easy to trounce Labor's Shadow Treasurers? For the first time, the facts about the McLachlan memorandum on the leadership transition from Howard to Costello are revealed. How-and why-did the Liberal Party pass up the chance to make generational change and revitalise a Government that was sliding into defeat? The Costello Memoirs answers these questions, and charts the victories and defeats in one man's very public life. *** Quantity Available: 1.
