Through the 20th century, Australians punched above their weight in the invention of the international order, as we have hardly known it. This lecture from Professor Glenda Sluga aims to go deeper into that international past – what we know and don’t know – by investigating Australians as international economic thinkers. In particular, it explores how, when, and why, international economic thinkers – businessmen and women, as well as economists and statesmen – exerted influence on the ambitions and plans of international organisations.
