In the decades after World War II, inflation undermined the aspiration for full employment in Australia. This book tells the story of how the Australian state was shaped by the confrontation with monetary instability: a pre-history of neoliberalism.

“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)
