We're excited to announce the Australian book launch of Struggle, Reform, Boom and Bust.
Struggle, Reform, Boom and Bust is a new economic history of Papua New Guinea, written by a team of ANU and UPNG economists. Data-driven, frank, insightful and engaging, Struggle, Reform, Boom and Bust is an essential resource for anyone interested in the economy of Papua New Guinea, as well as an important contribution to the literature on the challenges and institutional determinants of post-colonial development.
