In this book Tacey argues that spiritual change and political development in Australia are intimately related. We are presently in a curious and vital place in the history of this nation where a spiritual revival is needed before our social and political life can move forward. This is the "edge" upon which society is currently poised.
The social structure waits on the human spirit to show the way out of its major problems. The ecological crisis, racism, violence, macho-style masculinity, alcohol and drug abuse, and other contemporary illnesses are explored as problems of the spirit, requiring a spiritual response - not just government or monetary initiatives.
