The History of Australian Economic Thought (Routledge History of Economic Thought Series) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book presents an original and comprehensive overview of Australian economic thought. The authors stress, by way of introduction, the many contributions Australian economists have made to thought worldwide. They have contributed in particular to debates on land questions, economic development, taxation, protection and federation. Significantly, they have also made pioneering contributions in national income accounting and government statistics. As the argument develops, the work of major figures is discussed in detail in addition to the role of different journals and economics societies. Besides academic economists, it covers economists working within the government service and as advisers in private-sector companies. The contributions of this latter group were particularly significant in the 19th century before economics became an established academic discipline.
