The Rise and Fall of Monetary Targeting in Australia by economist Simon Guttman dissects the policy experiment that shaped the nation’s monetary landscape from the 1970s to the 1990s. This 2005 paperback from Australian Scholarly Publishing tracks how targeting money-supply aggregates rose, faltered, and finally gave way to modern inflation targeting.
Intermediate readers of economics and finance will appreciate the clear narrative that links archival policy debates to contemporary market outcomes. Guttman’s 348-page study is widely cited in Australian university courses and by central-bank researchers seeking perspective on regime change.
The book is in very good condition with only light cover scuffing; pages are crisp, unmarked, and tightly bound. It comes from a smoke-free home and is ready for immediate shelf or study use.
Ideal for students, policy buffs, or collectors of Australian economic history, this clean copy offers a concise window into a pivotal chapter of monetary thought without the distraction of underlining or dog-eared corners.
