The Rise and Fall of Monetary Targeting in Australia by economist Simon Guttman tracks how the Reserve Bank’s once-revered strategy unravelled. This 2005 Australian Scholarly Publishing paperback gives intermediate readers a front-row seat to the policy shifts that reshaped modern Australian finance.
Guttman blends data with political narrative across 348 tight pages, making complex monetary history feel surprisingly lively. Students of economics or finance will appreciate the clear structure and tidy referencing that keep the argument on track.
The book itself is in very good condition: pages are crisp, unmarked, and dog-ear free; the binding stays firm while you work. Light shelf scuffing on the cover is the only hint of its previous life in a smoke-free study.
Add this scarce title to your economics shelf and trace Australia’s monetary experiment from ambitious target to textbook case study.
