T HIS essay presents an overview of the writing of Australian economic history since the decisive reorientation in the early i96os towards uncovering the mechanism of economic growth and development. Over the past fifteen years economic history has grown in status and importance in most Australian universities, and there has been a transformation in our knowledge about many aspects of the history of Australian material life. The main achievements have been in quantification, in uncovering the relationship between resource endowment and economic development, and in the application of simple mechanical models drawn predominantly from neoclassical economics. My purpose in this essay has been eclectic: to take note of what appear to be the more significant contributions to the discipline in Australia and to offer some assessment of recent trends in scholarship. There has been no attempt to prepare a comprehensive bibliographic essay, and much excellent work has not been mentioned because of the limitation on space
