The Great Bust: The Depression of the Thirties chronicles the devastating social and economic collapse that gripped Australia and the world during the 1930s, told through the sharp, firsthand lens of one of the era's most controversial and compelling statesmen. Lang draws on his own lived experience at the epicentre of power, recounting the mass unemployment, political turmoil, and human suffering that defined a generation, while offering a frank account of the bitter ideological battles that tore at the fabric of Australian society.\n\nWritten with the authority and combative energy that made Lang a lightning rod in Australian politics, this account is as much a political memoir as it is a social history, presenting a raw and unvarnished portrait of governance under siege. Lang's narrative style is direct and polemical, reflecting the convictions of a man who defied both his own federal government and the financial establishment in the name of the working poor. For readers of Australian political history, this is an indispensable document — a testament to a time when the machinery of democracy was tested to its very limits, and one man's response to that test remains debated to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203265110235,"sku":"2026200015918-SECONDHAND","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/4c1ab167-d637-4911-99c7-75df6ca39bdb.png?v=1788146884","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015918-secondhand-the-great-bust-the-depression-of-the-thirties","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
