Alongside growing voter disenchantment, new voices of dissent argue that instead of free markets, economic reform has led to unaccountable oligopolies, increased prices, reduced productivity and a degraded sense of the public good.

Have these reforms for the Australian community and its economy been worthwhile? Have they given us a better society, as promised?
