Economy and Polity in Australia: A Quantification of Commonsense

Roger Douglas

British Journal of Political Science, 1975, vol. 5, issue 3, 341-361

Abstract: One of the most firmly established pieces of Australia’s political conventional wisdom concerns the influence of the economy on the level of support for the government. When all is well, the government can look forward to continued office by courtesy of a grateful electorate. When unemployment is high or inflation galloping, its prospects become gloomy and political leaders are tempted to delay the date of the next general election as long as possible in the hope that something will turn up.
