Description

"In Reserve" presents the history of banking in Australia. The post-war period in particular has seen dramatic changes in the control and subsequent deregulation of Australia's financial industry and this book gives a detailed account of monetary and economic policy since that time. "In Reserve" chronicles Australia's changing involvement with the international monetary system and the evolution of central banking in a small, open economy; the rise and decline of a system of monetary regulation; the formation of economic and monetary policy since World War II; interaction between Bank and Government and the powerful personalities such as Dr H.C. Coombs and Sir Roland Wilson who shaped post-war policy and institutions.
