Abstract
This thesis examines Australia’s economic history field in the post-WWII decades. It focusses on the way in which social relationships and institutional developments contributed to the development of intellectual traditions, and an academic field over time. Rather than simply examining pioneering scholars, the thesis analyses the oft-neglected ‘community’ in intellectual history.
