Written by the former Australian Deputy Prime Minister and prominent Labor figure, the book chronicles Cairns' disillusionment with conventional politics and his conviction that true change must begin not in parliament, but within individuals and communities. With a tone that is earnest and idealistic, it details an alternative vision rooted in personal responsibility, decentralization, and a rejection of the consumerist values that Cairns believed were corroding modern life. Drawing on his own political experiences and philosophical reflections, Cairns illustrates why he came to see grassroots social transformation as the only meaningful path forward for Australia and the wider world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48810594631899,"sku":"2026600000053-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f8d80ab6-b409-4d9e-b8ca-84adff5e2f23.png?v=1779805726","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026600000053-secondhand-the-quiet-revolution","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
