V. Jackson's Australian Economic Development in the Nineteenth Century chronicles this remarkable metamorphosis with scholarly precision and analytical depth. Jackson presents a rigorous examination of the key economic forces that shaped colonial Australia, from the wool boom and the explosive upheaval of the gold rushes to the growth of banking, land settlement, and the emergence of manufacturing industries that would define the nation's economic character.\n\nPublished by the Australian National University Press in 1977, this work stands as a foundational text in Australian economic historiography, drawing on quantitative data and primary sources to argue that Australia's 19th-century growth was far from accidental — it was the product of specific institutional, geographic, and demographic conditions. Jackson's style is measured and authoritative, grounding broad economic theory in the specific realities of the colonial experience, making it indispensable for students of Australian history and economic history alike. For anyone seeking to understand the deep structural roots of modern Australia's prosperity, this is the essential point of departure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203278217435,"sku":"2026200013018-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/64a664a5-9ace-4ee6-bdfb-f9649eafa469.png?v=1788147327","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013018-secondhand-australian-economic-development-in-the-nineteenth-century","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
