Looking at a period spanning two hundred years, this book explores why Australia was so rich at the end of the nineteenth century and why it has remained rich. McLean shows how history sheds light on Australia’s long-run economic performance and he cogently discusses the contributions and limitations of formal theory in explaining Australian growth.”–George Grantham, professor emeritus, McGill University
“This exceptionally well-written book explains why Australia has been almost continuously prosperous since the first settlement. A truly deep study of the mechanisms of economic growth, it is a top-rate contribution to its field and will become the standard work on Australian economic history.”–Eric Jones, professor emeritus, La Trobe University
