The Lucky Country
The Lucky Country: Popular Penguins | Donald Horne
2 posts | 1 read
'Australia is a lucky country, run mainly by second-rate people who share its luck.' First published in 1964 The Lucky Country caused a sensation. The book was a wake-up call to an unimaginative nation, an indictment of a country mired in mediocrity and manacled to its past.

#MarchIntoOz #day17 #IShouldBeSoLucky It‘s St Paddy‘s day & what better way to celebrate than by listening to the singing budgie warbling about how lucky in love she wants to be. Paired with one of Australia‘s classics, the book that gave us the nickname “The Lucky Country” which was actually Horne deriding Australia, claiming our rise in power, economics & wealth was almost entirely down to luck instead of smart politics.
