A History of Corporate Collapses in Australia
'Two Centuries of Panic' is the first history ever published of corporate collapses in Australia from the first bank closure in the 1820s through the four great recessions of the 1840s, 1890s, 1920s and 1970s to the downfall of the house of Gollin. The book's pages are peopled with some of the most famous names in Australian history - among them Lachlan Macquarie, John Macarthur, Alfred Deakin, Red Ted Theodore, Benjamin Boyd and Claude de Bernales - names associated with some of the largest and most dramatic corporate collapses in Australia.
Acclaimed on first publication as a classic contribution to the history of business in Australia, 'Two Centuries of Panic' will fascinate all who are interested in money, and in the people who make it.
