Publisher's Synopsis
Some Australian states were worse affected by the economic roller-coaster of the 1980s than others: South Australia was one of these. With an ageing manufacturing sector threatened by tariff reductions and the State Bank in crisis, the future is not rosy.;The contributors to this book offer a detailed analysis of the state's economy and state-federal relations. They argue for an approach which looks beyond economic rationalism to a more flexible economic and industry policy.
