Current Affairs, Interview, Joy, Joy 94.9, Joy Media, Media, News & Politics, Podcast, Society & Culture

Fiona and Macca talk to Ken Gratton about his new book, The Anarchy Engine,

‘The world copes with cascading economic disasters, war, global pandemics and catastrophic climate change…’

Now right-wing populist politicians are throwing further chaos into the mix.

The Anarchy Engine breaks down the discrete challenges faced by the Australian voting public over the past fifteen years, focusing particularly on the four years of the Morrison coalition government.

How did a Pentecostal worshipper rise to be Prime Minister of a country that numbers atheists among nearly forty per cent of its population?

And did his government’s adherence to discredited economic theory survive its first test, a lethal virus, without precedent?

This is the full story, covering all the scandals, the mistakes and the ultimate cover-ups.
