Australian Economic Review, 2015, vol. 48, issue 1, 76-82

Abstract: type="main" xml:lang="en">

Growing debate on economic inequality in the West has refocused discussion on whether economic elites have too much influence on public policy-making. The article highlights the extent to which public policy in Australia has been captured by corporate interests and other economic elites in recent years. This raises questions about the quality of public policy now being generated in key areas of reform. It also raises questions about the sustainability of public support for policy constructed by, and on behalf of, narrow corporate interests.
