Reviewer's comments about Social Democracy in Australia's Asian Future: 

"Thoughtful, relevant and at times provocative essays from Australia's
leading thinker on our economic development and our relations with
Asia."  IAN MACFARLANE Governor, Reserve Bank of Australia

"Social Democracy in Australia's Asian Future changes the perception
of economics as the dismal science. This collection of essays,
spanning 20 years' deep involvement in matters of public policy, is a
gem of a book.  Ross Garnaut's intellectual excellence, clarity of
expression and deep involvement in Asia shine through."  SIR RODERICK
CARNEGIE Leading Australian businessman and Former Chairman of the
Business Council of Australia

"An eloquent argument for Australian openness with judicious domestic
policies, past and future. Ross Garnaut is unique: a world class
economist, advisor to Prime Minister Hawke for Australia's
liberalisation, advisor to Chinese officials for economic reform while
Ambassador in Bejing, author of the Garnaut Report for a positive
response to East Asia's economic challenge, key participant in
regional affairs."  EZRA F. VOGEL Henry Ford II Professor of the
Social Sciences, Harvard University Founder of Harvard University Asia
Centre
