Editorial Review
This is a scholarly and in many respects impressive book, derived from the author's doctoral thesis. ... Read as a set of essays on the relationship between contemporary economic ideas and macroeconomic policy-making in Australia between the 1940s and the 1980s, this book makes a strong contribution to historical literature. (John Singleton, Australian Historical Studies, Vol. 48 (1), February, 2017)
