Synopsis

This unit complements earlier economic studies. It emphasises the role
of  economic  theory  in  the  design, choice  and  implementation  of
development policies and draws from other areas of economics including
growth  economics, labour economics, public finance and public  choice
in  an  exploration  of Australia's development experience  since  the
1850s.  In  addition,  the  nature  and  role  of  important  economic
institutions are examined. Attention is also placed on the development
objective, development futures and the political-economic nexus.
