Economic historian William Coleman will launch his newest book Only in Australia, a collection of essays by prominent Australian thinkers including Geoffrey Blainey, Henry Ergas, JR Nethercote, and Nick Cater.
It explores the Australian difference and how Australia’s economic and social policy has diverged from the approach of other countries.
The launch will be held at The Alliance Hotel. To book click here.
