This book is about the Australian difference. It is about how in economic and social policy Australia now diverges significantly from comparable countries. This volume brings together economists, historians, and political scientists to delve into what makes Australia so different. The book suggests that the 'special path' that Australia has followed for over a century is the product of  physical circumstances, historical accidents, fateful choices, and the unique personalities thrown up by an extraordinary land. It publishes original contributions on these questions by Geoffrey Blainey, Nick Cater, William Coleman, Adam Creighton, Henry Ergas, Phil Lewis, Jonathan Pincus, Richard Pomfret, Keith Rankin and Peter Yule.

Books will be available for sale and signing.
