Books by Michael (University of New South Wales Pusey

An authoritative introduction to the work of Habermas. His sometimes difficult and inaccessible work is rendered accessible by Michael Pusey for the student reader.

Examines middle Australia and how it is coping with the changes of economic reform. Meticulously researched, it mounts a moral and intellectual counter-argument to the regime of economic reform. A sequel to the best-selling Economic Rationalism in Canberra, Michael Pusey's book will be equally controversial.

Michael Pusey undertakes a detailed analysis of top bureaucrats in Canberra who have been responsible for emphasizing notions of 'streamlining' and 'rationalisation'. He discusses the social significance of economic rationalisation and public sector reform from a theoretical perspective, contributing to understanding of modernisation, public morality and citizenship.
