Australia and World Capitalism - Edited by Greg Crough, Ted Wheelwright & Ted Wilshire

How does Australia's economy fit into the wider forces shaping the global capitalist system? Australia and World Capitalism brings together a collection of essays that examine Australia's place within the international economy, exploring the relationship between multinational corporations, government policy, organised labour and the changing dynamics of global trade. Written during a period of intense political and economic debate, it offers a revealing snapshot of the ideas that influenced Australian economic thought in the late twentieth century.

Rather than presenting simple answers, the contributors challenge readers to think critically about power, inequality and Australia's role in an increasingly interconnected world. Combining political economy with accessible analysis, this Pelican collection remains a fascinating historical document for readers interested in Australian politics, economics and the enduring debates surrounding capitalism, globalisation and social change.
