History Australiana Business & Economics
Crash Corporate Australia Fights For Its Life by John McManamy is a vintage 1988 paperback that dissects the boardroom dramas, takeover wars and high-stakes financial rescues that reshaped Australian business in the 1980s. Written in fast-paced journalistic style, this non-fiction exposé suits economics students, young professionals and anyone hooked on true corporate stories.
McManamy, a respected finance writer, turns complex deals into gripping narrative while mapping the decade’s broader economic strategy. The book doubles as a readable history lesson and a professional development reference for entrepreneurs curious about boom-and-bust cycles.
This used copy shows only light cover scuffing; inside, the pages are crisp, unmarked and firmly bound, with no writing, dog-ears or smoke odour. A tidy, affordable addition to an Australian history or economics shelf.
Collectors of vintage Australian business titles and readers hunting a concise account of 1980s corporate turbulence will appreciate this accessible edition.
