Why Australia Prospered is a fascinating historical examination of how Australia cultivated and sustained economic growth and success. Beginning with the Aboriginal economy at the end of the eighteenth century, Ian McLean argues that Australia's remarkable prosperity across nearly two centuries was reached and maintained by several shifting factors. These included imperial policies, favorable demographic characteristics, natural resource abundance, institutional adaptability and innovation, and growth-enhancing policy responses to major economic shocks, such as war, depression, and resource discoveries. Natural resource abundance in Australia played a prominent role in some periods and faded during others, but overall, and contrary to the conventional view of economists, it was a blessing rather than a curse. McLean shows that Australia's location was not a hindrance when the international economy was centered in the North Atlantic, and became a positive influence following Asia's modernization. Participation in the world trading system, when it flourished, brought significant benefits, and during the interwar period when it did not, Australia's protection of domestic manufacturing did not significantly stall growth. McLean also considers how the country's notorious origins as a convict settlement positively influenced early productivity levels, and how British imperial policies enhanced prosperity during the colonial period. He looks at Australia's recent resource-based prosperity in historical perspective, and reveals striking elements of continuity that have underpinned the evolution of the country's economy since the nineteenth century. 410 4$aThe Princeton Economic History of the Western World 606 $aEconomic development$zAustralia 606 $aEconomics 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEconomic development 615 0$aEconomics. 676 $a338.994 700 $aMcLean$b Ian W$0509035 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462107503321 996 $aWhy Australia prospered$92484180 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00518nam 2200169z- 450 001 9910773081103321 035 $a(CKB)4920000003131998 035 $a(EXLCZ)994920000003131998 100 $a20240109c2019uuuu -u- - 101 0 $aeng 200 10$aAdvancements in Design Research : 11 PhD theses on Design as we do in POLIMI 210 $aMilan$cFrancoAngeli 517 $aAdvancements in Design Research 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910773081103321 996 $aAdvancements in Design Research$92988707 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05143nam 2200757 450 001 9910809845803321 005 20200903223051.0 010 $a90-04-26014-5 035 $a(CKB)2550000001168872 035 $a(EBL)1576648 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001060700 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11985603 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001060700 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11105905 035 $a(PQKB)10762572 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1576648 035 $a(nllekb)BRILL9789004260146 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1576648 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10815243 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL550158 035 $a(OCoLC)865156534 035 $a(PPN)178885266 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000001168872 100 $a20130830d2014 uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 04$aThe challenge of linear time $enationhood and the politics of history in East Asia /$fedited by Viren Murthy and Axel Schneider 210 1$aLeiden :$cBrill,$d2014. 215 $a1 online resource (311 p.) 225 1 $aLeiden series in comparative historiography,$x1574-4493 ;$vvolume 7 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a90-04-26013-7 311 $a1-306-18907-1 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aIntroduction / Viren Murthy, Axel Schneider -- [1] Time, history, and moral responsibility -- Negativity and historicist time : facticity and intellectual history of the 1930s / Naoki Sakai -- Ontological optimism, cosmological confusion, and unstable evolution : Tan Sitong's Renxue and Zhang Taiyan's response / Viren Murthy -- Nation, history and ethics : the choices of post-imperial historiography in China / Axel Schneider -- Reading Takeuchi Yoshimi and reading history / Sun Ge -- [2] The burden of the past and the hope for a better future -- An eschatological view of history : Yoshimi Takeuchi in the 1960s / Takahiro Nakajima -- The campaign to criticize Lin Biao and Confucius and the problem of "Restoration" in Chinese Marxist historiography / Susanne Weigelin-Schwiedrzik -- [3] Recollection of the past and the popularization of history -- Popular readings and wartime historical writings in modern China / Long-Hsin Liu -- Figuring history and horror in a provincial museum : the water dungeon, the rent collection courtyard, and the socialist undead / Haiyan Lee -- [4] History and the definition of spatial, cultural and temporal boundaries -- Revolution as restoration : meanings of "national essence" and "national learning" in Guocui Xuebao / Tze-Ki Hon -- Temporality of knowledge and history writing in early twentieth-century China : Liu Yizheng and The history of Chinese culture / Ya-Pei Kuo. 330 $aThe papers collected in this volume congeal around a debate about the ways and extent of the dominance of linear time and progressive history and the concomitant delineation of the nation in Chinese and Japanese historiography. As China and Japan entered the global capitalist system of nation states, the Chinese and Japanese regimes implemented a number of reforms, which resulted in transformations that affected everyday experience. In the face of imperialism and the perceived threat of being split up, the Meiji and late Qing governments radically reoriented policies in order to become wealthy and powerful in the global arena. People not only began to experience time and space in new ways, but elites also were increasingly exposed to Western theories of history and concepts of nationhood, which became dominant. These changes contributed to the production of new types of historical consciousness and collective identity. The essays in this volume each provide a perspective on the complex ways in which imagining national and regional identity in East Asia were and continue to be enmeshed with visions of time and history. This book should be of interest to all those who are interested in nationalism, modernity in China and Japan, global capitalism and the politics of time. 410 0$aLeiden series in comparative historiography ;$vv. 7. 606 $aHistoriography$xPolitical aspects$zChina 606 $aHistoriography$xPolitical aspects$zJapan 606 $aTime$xPolitical aspects$zChina 606 $aTime$xPolitical aspects$zJapan 606 $aNationalism$zChina 606 $aNationalism$zJapan 607 $aChina$xHistoriography 607 $aJapan$xHistoriography 607 $aChina$xIntellectual life$y20th century 607 $aJapan$xIntellectual life$y20th century 615 0$aHistoriography$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aHistoriography$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aTime$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aTime$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aNationalism 615 0$aNationalism 676 $a951.0072 701 $aMurthy$b Viren$0897337 701 $aSchneider$b Axel$01707738 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809845803321 996 $aThe challenge of linear time$94096188 997 $aUNINA
