You are invited to meet Ross Gittins when he introduces his new book Gittins.

For forty years Ross Gittins has had a ringside seat as the Australian economy has gone through radical change. He's covered forty budgets and sixteen elections, he's watched thirteen treasurers and eight Prime Ministers wrestle with boom and recession, debts and deficits. Few economic journalists have earned such respect for their views from participants to readers alike. His even-handedness and his clarity of vision have left countless readers better informed about how the complexities and contradictions of the modern economy affect our daily lives.

This son of a Salvation Army major and one-time accountant is an old-school journo through and through. With four decades of printers' ink in his veins, he dissects the newspaper game, remembers the great editors and journalists who have sharpened our minds and his, and lays down some hard facts about a hard future,

Honest, robust and intelligent, Gittins is as insightul and entertaining as the man himself.
