Australian Economic Development in the Twentieth Century
French penal policy and the origins of the french presence in new caledonia
IN 1852 THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT ENDED CONVICT TRANSPORTATION TO THE eastern colonies of Australia. In the same year French transportation began: the first common convicts left their prisons for camps in French Guiana. One year later the French flag was raised in New Caledonia and the act was officially justified solely on penal grounds. The government had long wished to possess overseas some places which could, if needed, receive its penal settlem…
Wages and wage policy: Australia in the Depression, 1924–34
The starting–point for this examination of the Australian wage–fixing system during the Great Depression is the recent conclusion by Gregory, Ho, and McDermott that the Commonwealth Court was ineffective in its attempt to impose a 10 per cent reduction in real wages. They argue that labour markets, centralized and decentralized, resisted the 10 per cent cut, so that wage policy played no part in the recovery from the Depression. By surveying the …

Perspective on Recent Japanese Economic Growth
That Japanese economic growth since the war has been spectacular is well known. Real net national income per head at the beginning of the 1960's was roughly twice that of the middle thirties, and four times the postwar low of 1946. In all sorts of ways—industrial structure, levels of regular employment, composition and level of consumption—Japan has made a decisive break from the economy of the 1930's. While the achievement is obvious, it is more…
