And there are acute analyses - of passive welfare; of the fate of the Labor Party; of identity politics, good and bad; and of education and the role of a great teacher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe volume also contains a remarkable new extended title essay, in which Pearson reflects on his life and work so far.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMission is honest, provocative and utterly original.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Noel Pearson","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":43174867796211,"sku":"8880002908441","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/products\/9781760643157.jpg?v=1662068299","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/mission-noel-pearson-9781760643157","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
