A hundred years ago, an open and adaptive attitude towards
technology made Australia the wealthiest society in the world.
Today this same attitude is transforming the nation and creating
unexpected opportunities for Australia's inventors, discoverers and
entrepreneurs. Australia's economy underwent a miraculous expansion
over the twenty years from the early 1990s onwards - an economic
transformation that pre-dated the late twentieth-century mining
boom, and which was driven by investment in ideas and technology.
The Australian Miracle, first published by Picador in 2006,
highlights the growing role of innovation in modern Australian
life. It also presents a refreshing and invigorating scepticism
about the role of government in a world where research and
innovation have never been more important. Politically charged,
controversial, and sharply written, it should be essential reading
for anyone interested in Australia's economy of ideas. "This is the
ultimate myth buster; the killer of cliches Australian science so
badly needs. Tom Barlow's iconoclasm will shock some, thrill
others. I consumed this timely book with unaccustomed relish. Read
it." -- Robyn Williams.
