Australian economy and neo-liberalism

More about the book

Australian economy has long been reliant on neo-liberal policies, overseas investors, resource and grain exports, foreign multinational enterprise presence in its industries and partnerships with much larger economies. These factors have not always been conducive in achieving long-term stability and a strong manufacturing sector, nor have they necessarily served the attempt to benefit from integrating the economy into the regional and global patterns. These themes form the focus of this book, which contributes to the debate through an analysis of the practices of the dominant economic theory.
