This book documents the history of economic discourse in Australia
and New Zealand from the early days of European settlement. Many of
the early economists were immigrants (William Hearn, Charles
Pearson, Catherine Spence, David Syme). A few (such as W.C.
Wentworth, born on the First Fleet) were proud natives, self-taught
but confident and assertive in their use of economic arguments. The
20th century brought European refugees (Heinz Arndt, Harro
Bernardelli, Fred Gruen, Kurt Singer) and a healthy crop of
locally-born public servant-economists (Bernard Ashwin, John
Crawford, 'Nugget' Coombs, Leslie Melville, Roland Wilson). There
were theorists of international renown (Richard Manning, Wilfred
Salter, Trevor Swan), some who made important contributions to
public policy debates (Ronald Henderson, Eric Russell) or
distinguished themselves in econometrics (Rex Bergstrom, Bill
Phillips). The 130 entries in this volume have been written by more
than 50 international authorities, revealing the depth and
diversity of economics in Australia and New Zealand over almost two
centuries. This biographical dictionary is a rich and comprehensive
original reference work that will appeal to many economists and
researchers of history and public policy in addition to those
involved in the history of economic thought.
