Description:
Is Australia fair enough? And why does inequality matter anyway?
From egalitarian beginnings, Australian inequality rose through the nineteenth century. Then we became more equal again, with inequality falling markedly from the 1920s to the 1970s. Now, inequality is returning to the heights of the 1820s. The housing and cost-of-living crises we face are some of the defining issues of our time.
In Battlers and Billionaires, Andrew Leigh shows that while inequality can fuel growth, it also poses dangers to society. Too much inequality risks cleaving us into two Australias, with little contact between the haves and the have-nots. And the further apart the rungs on the ladder of opportunity, the harder it is for a kid born into poverty to enter the middle class.
Battlers and Billionaires sheds fresh light on what makes Australia distinctive, and what it means to have - and keep - a fair go.

Excellent Structural Privacy Barrier / Zero Assembly Required
Color: Light Beige, Size: 6-Panel
I purchased this 6-panel partition to establish a dedicated recovery zone and create a hard visual perimeter in my room. It serves exactly the function I needed without any unnecessary complexity.
The structural execution is excellent. It effectively blocks out light and breaks up the room geometry perfectly. Despite being lightweight enough to reposition rapidly, it remains completely stable once anchored in place.
The best part is the zero-bloat deployment—it was ready to use immediately out of the box with absolutely no complex assembly or external hardware required. Highly recommended.

Nice!!
Color: Chocolate, Size: 6-Panel
I love this divider. There was no set up at all, simply remove it out of the box, that's it. Thank you for making this easy. The divider is of great quality and easy to store away when not in use.
