Australian economics is a recent field, and the subject of these studies is attempts at systematic economic thinking in Australia before the present century. The work of Hearn and Syme is related to the political economy of their own times, while the essay on Jevons is a biographical contribution to the history of English political economy which could not have been written outside Australia.
