Thomas Frank: In Conversation

Wayne Swan MP, and Senator Kristina Keneally will join New York Times bestselling author, journalist and historian Thomas Frank, as he delivers a searing and thought-provoking analysis of the current American political scene, and suggests what lessons Australians can learn from recent American political developments.

Thomas Frank has long chronicled the decline of the American middle class, the need for more meaningful action on income inequality, and the political implications for progressive parties that fail to address inequality. This public event will see Thomas engage with some of Australia’s most interesting progressive thinkers on these urgent issues for our time.

NSW Labor and the Chifley Research Centre are pleased to present this unique event at NSW Trades Hall on Tuesday 31 July.
