Industrial development in Australia 1920-1930

Abstract

This thesis is a study of industrial development in Australia between 1920 and 1930. The study has been conducted at several levels of analysis. Chapters II to VI examine the growth of some of the leading industries and firms engaged in manufacturing; their selection is based on an assessment - for which support is offered - of the character and conditions of the industrial expansion during this decade. In chapters VII to IX some of the more general problems and processes associated with this growth are examined. The introductory chapter reviews the industrial development of the twenties as a whole.
