In the wake of sweeping economic reforms that reshaped a nation, The Deregulation of the Australian Financial System: the experience of the 1980s stands as a definitive chronicle of one of the most transformative decades in Australian economic history. J. O. N. Perkins presents a rigorous and authoritative account of how the dismantling of long-standing financial controls — from the floating of the Australian dollar in 1983 to the entry of foreign banks — fundamentally restructured the country's banking and financial landscape, arguing that these changes were both inevitable and profoundly consequential for the broader economy. Perkins brings the analytical precision of a seasoned economist to bear on the policy decisions, institutional responses, and market dynamics that defined the era, illustrating the complex interplay between government ambition and financial reality. Written with clarity and scholarly depth, this work situates Australia's deregulatory experience within the global trend toward financial liberalisation that swept Western economies during the 1980s. For anyone seeking to understand the structural foundations of modern Australian finance — and the risks and rewards that deregulation unleashed — this volume raises questions whose answers still reverberate today.
