‘I really enjoyed this memoir by Labor politician John Button who was the Federal Industry Minister in the 1980s. Fascinating to see the inside perspective on a tumultuous decade when Australian industry was forced to lessen tariffs and protectionism and adapt to a changing world. The author is genuinely funny and his insights very revealing. So much changed since the 1980s. As a nation, we have adapted, innovated and grown immeasurably richer. I think Button would approve.’ – Jeremy (Goodreads)
