Whenever possible, it gives not only snapshot comparisons from the present, but charts trends over recent decades or even longer. Its scope is encyclopaedic, offering comparative data on as many aspects of social life as possible, from taxation to traffic accidents, homicide rates to health expenditure, and international trade to internet usage. It uses a highly accessible format, devoting a double-page spread to each topic, with tables on one page and a clear explanation and analysis on the facing page. In each discussion the focus is to put the Australian experience into international perspective, drawing out the implications for its performance, policies and prospects. 606 $aEconomic history 607 $aAustralia$xPolitics and government$y2001- 607 $aAustralia$xEconomic conditions$y2001- 607 $aAustralia$xSocial life and customs$y2001- 615 0$aEconomic history. 676 $a994 700 $aTiffen$b Rodney$0962485 701 $aGittins$b Ross$01070488 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828057103321 996 $aHow Australia compares$94204073 997 $aUNINA
