In Twentieth Century Economic Development in Australia, E. A. Boehm presents a rigorous and authoritative chronicle of how a young federation navigated the turbulent forces of globalisation, war, migration, and technological change to forge a prosperous and distinctive economy. Drawing on a wealth of statistical data and historical evidence, Boehm details the structural shifts — from a predominantly agrarian and pastoral base to a diversified industrial and service economy — that defined the Australian century.\n\nBoehm's analytical framework is both accessible and scholarly, situating Australia's domestic trajectory within the broader currents of international economic history. He argues that uniquely Australian factors — geographic isolation, dependence on commodity exports, and the interventionist role of the state — shaped a development path that defies simple comparison with European or North American models. This second edition, updated and refined, remains an indispensable reference for students of economic history, policy, and Australian studies, leaving the reader to ponder just how fragile — and deliberate — the foundations of Australian prosperity truly were.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203206226139,"sku":"2026200015292-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/e05b6a3a-b402-4344-b38c-5489160dc04c.png?v=1788145692","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015292-secondhand-twentieth-century-economic-development-in-australia","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
