This page explores the crisis in Western Democracy by looking at two articles from the Sydney Morning Herald almost a year apart – Workaholic Nation by Judith Ireland & Democracy Withers As Leadership Goes Missing by John Keane. We have picked two articles from the Sydney Morning Herald in Australia because this country is a middle sized Western Democracy, firmly captialistic with an institutional Christian heritage, and with little in terms of fallout from the Global Financial Crisis. It is interesting to ask the question; despite it’s apparent attractiveness, why is Western democracy in crisis and is there a Christian view on the issues raised in articles such as this? [Editor]
