Out Of Luck: Poor Australians And Social Welfare, 1788 1988

“Out of Luck” uncovers the history of the many who have always had to struggle hard to survive in this ‘lucky’ country and who have seldom shared in the rewards of a well endowed society. Stephen Garton draws on the findings of social history, welfare history and women’s to present a lively account of an important feature of Australia’s history – and present, and future.
