An extraordinary group of individuals, notably John Curtin, Ben Chifley, Nugget Coombs, John Dedman and Robert Menzies, re-made the country, planning its reconstruction against a background of wartime sacrifice and austerity. The other part of this triumphant story shows Australia on the world stage, seeking to fashion a new world order that would bring peace and prosperity.This 606 $aReconstruction (1939-1951)$zAustralia 607 $aAustralia$xEconomic conditions$z1939-1945 607 $aAustralia$xEconomic policy$z1939-1945 615 0$aReconstruction (1939-1951) 676 $a338.994 700 $aMacintyre$b Stuart$f1947-2021,$0783885 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823552403321 996 $aAustralia's boldest experiment$94072676 997 $aUNINA
