| Abstract
|
:
|
This book tells the story of the often painful process of Australia's integration into the international economy. Bob Catley traces the path of Australian economics from the time of Federation and the establishment of the dual economy, through its inevitable down-turn in the mid-1970s and to the current state of play as Australia struggles under the pressures of economic globalisation. Catley argues that the failure of Australian policy-makers to face the reality of declining commodity prices, and their choice to instead protect domestic commodity industries, has tied Australia to slow-growth sectors at the expense of expanding the manufactured goods and services industries which now make up the bulk of world trade.

The resulting situation is a series of trade-offs between protectionism and efficiency, social policy and business strategy, regulation and reform. Catley concludes that the path to successful globalisation and increased international competitiveness still lies ahead. This is an indispensable book for all students and scholars in economics, economic history and politics, policy-makers and business people. It is crucial and compelling reading for Australia's economic future.
