Campbell's provocative pamphlet-style polemic, The 60 Families Who Own Australia, punches far above its weight, delivering a searing indictment of the concentrated power held by Australia's ruling economic elite. Written from a left-wing, socialist perspective, the work argues that a mere sixty families — through their control of industry, land, banking, and media — effectively dictate the political and economic destiny of an entire nation, leaving ordinary Australians disenfranchised in their own country. Campbell marshals statistics, names, and structural critiques to build a compelling case against monopoly capitalism in the Australian context, presenting the evidence with the urgency of a political manifesto.\n\nA landmark of Australian radical literature, this work sits within a rich tradition of progressive political writing that sought to expose the nexus between wealth and power in the mid-twentieth century. Campbell's unflinching prose strips away the mythology of the fair go to reveal a society stratified by inherited privilege and corporate dominance — a critique that resonates with uncomfortable clarity even today. For anyone seeking to understand the deep architecture of Australian economic and political power, this rare volume raises questions that have never truly been answered.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203178471643,"sku":"2026200014765-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/91ad3858-5d9b-4735-8516-752354322b39.png?v=1788144876","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014765-secondhand-the-60-families-who-own-australia","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
