A Small Rich Industrial Country by H.W. Arndt presents a rigorous and penetrating examination of Australia's economic development, its foreign aid commitments, and its complex trade relationships in the post-war era. Drawing on Arndt's formidable expertise as one of Australia's foremost economists, the work argues that Australia's prosperity is inseparable from its engagement with the broader Asia-Pacific region, challenging readers to reconsider the nation's role on the world stage.\n\nArndt writes with the precision of an academic and the clarity of a seasoned policy commentator, dissecting the structural forces shaping Australian industry and trade with authoritative confidence. The collected studies illuminate the tensions between national self-interest and international obligation, positioning Australia within global economic currents that remain strikingly relevant today. For anyone seeking to understand the economic foundations of modern Australia, this work stands as an indispensable and thought-provoking landmark — one that leaves the critical question open: has Australia truly lived up to the promise of its wealth?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203186893019,"sku":"2026200014955-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/7cfbc7c9-ef78-4833-ace2-8f3c288b838a.png?v=1788145242","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014955-secondhand-a-small-rich-industrial-country-studies-in-australian-development-aid-and-trade","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
