Hardback. good condition. First edition (1936).
What of Australia’s Future?: Australia Joyriding to Bankruptcy, Tariff Mad, Work Shy; a Drastic, Trenchant and Virile Criticism of Australia’s Economics by Joseph Hamlet (published 1936) is a sharp, provocative economic critique warning that Australia's post-World War I direction—marked by rising protectionist tariffs, chronic unemployment, and a culture of idleness—risked steering the nation into financial ruin. With trenchant clarity, Hamlet diagnoses the country’s “joyriding” mindset and derides governmental policies that he argues foster dependency rather than productivity. Framing his analysis as a wake-up call, the author urges sweeping reforms to reinvigorate industrial growth, reduce trade barriers, and restore a work ethic capable of securing Australia's prosperity in the future.
