From the gold rushes of the nineteenth century to the suburban sprawl of the twentieth, Horne presents a sweeping panorama of Australian society, illustrating how the nation's character, values, and identity were forged not in the crucible of war or ideology, but in the relentless accumulation of wealth. With the same sharp sociological eye he brought to The Lucky Country, Horne dissects the myths and realities of Australian capitalism, detailing how economic forces shaped the lives of ordinary men and women across generations.\n\nHorne writes with the authority of a cultural insider and the detachment of a seasoned critic, weaving together social history, economic analysis, and vivid storytelling into a compelling national portrait. His prose is accessible yet intellectually rigorous, unmasking the contradictions of a society that celebrated egalitarianism while building structures of profound inequality. Money Made Us stands as a landmark work of Australian cultural criticism — one that leaves the reader asking whether the nation ever truly had a choice in the matter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49216202768603,"sku":"2026200014412-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/aa02c06c-883c-466b-8eb5-f3663f9d1a1a.png?v=1788405261","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014412-secondhand-money-made-us","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
