A good bit of political writing - from '06 but still interesting - whose strong point is the material from the detailed interviews that Megalogenis was able to conduct with book of the book's principals, Keating and Howard. The core argument, reflected in the book's title, is that between them the two men, as Treasurer and PM, broke the decade-long boom-bust cycle that had previously characterised the Australian economy, and moreover that there were deeper continuities between the two, not only on economics, but also on social policy and even, to an extent, in foreign policy. Readable, enjoyable, insightful.
