The 1950s' undeniable prosperity has become synonymous with
conservatism, and inertia seen as its hallmark. This book offers a
fresh and challenging interpretation of the 1950s in Australia.
Nicholas Brown presents the decade as a time of great change,
brought about by affluence. Society became increasingly complex,
mass consumption reached new heights and Australia's role in the
world and the region was re-cast. The book looks at the ways in
which those overseeing society responded to these post-war changes;
in short, how they governed prosperity. A history of ideas as well
as cultural, intellectual and institutional history, Governing
Prosperity is a major reassessment of the 1950s. It will be
particularly important for its analysis of the significance of the
decade in the development of Australian society.
