The Rush That Never Ended by Geoffrey Blainey is a seminal economic and social history of Australia's mining industry, tracing its profound influence on the nation's development from the early gold rushes of the 19th century to the modern era. Blainey explores how successive waves of mineral discoveries—gold, silver, copper, iron, coal, and more—shaped not only Australia's economy but also its population patterns, infrastructure, and national identity. Written with clarity and insight, the book reveals the booms and busts of mining towns, the lives of miners, and the evolving relationship between natural resources and Australian society. It remains a cornerstone work for understanding the enduring significance of mining in Australia's past and present.
