• W776388896 abstract "Responding to the Gillard Government's draft history curriculum, former Prime Minister John Howard complained in September 2012 that, despite 'praiseworthy features', much of it was 'unbalanced and in some cases quite bizarre'. Howard's major accusation was, predictably, that the curriculum was partisan to progressive and leftist ideals, favouring, for instance, workers' rights over the benefits of the free-market. This aside, what was particularly interesting was his view of the year ten curriculum's favouring of 'popular culture, environmental movements [and] mass migration movements' over economics. He charged that the expansion of liberal-capitalism - the 'most important' aspect of post-war globalisation - was missing as a topic in its own right. Forms of cultural history, environmental history, and migration history were given precedence. 'AC/DC and Kylie Minogue' were featured over, say, Australian disciples of Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman. For Howard, this was an unfavourable scenario.1While one can easily observe what a neo-liberal and conservative curriculum actually entails now that the Coalition holds office and the Minister for Education, Christopher Pyne, and the curriculum's 'reviewers' have essentially repeated this argument,2 Howard does, at the very least, draw attention to a potential absence of economic themes in the curriculum. The particular criticism highlighted above, of course, regards year ten - and thus secondary education - and is also tapping into the 'history wars' by suggesting that there is a preoccupation with themes associated with the 'left', such as multiculturalism, environmentalism, and cultural analysis, rather than more traditional 'fact' oriented and celebratory approaches.3 Nevertheless, despite the curriculum's intended audience being school children and without having to accept whatever Howard-approved history would entail, stemming from this one may ask whether this is reflective of contemporary Australian historiography overall. In an age where cultural history is prevalent, are Australianists currently neglecting economic themes? Are economic topics being displaced by cultural analyses? Are economic themes being excluded from cultural analyses?It very much seems that all three of these questions can be answered in the affirmative, and that most historians appear to be neglecting 'the economy' in-and-of-itself. As such, this paper encourages Australianist historians to rectify this.4 It succinctly addresses the current state of economic and business themes within contemporary Australian historiography, and argues for a new approach towards studying such themes. Ultimately, it will be argued that there exists fruitful research possibilities within the 'history of capitalism' field - an interdisciplinary approach which has been developing over the past decade, primarily in the United States. Social, cultural, and economic historians in particular have a tremendous opportunity here to begin raising new questions about Australia's 'cultures of economy and economics of culture'.5 Moreover, by examining economic institutions and themes, we can ensure that Australia's economic history is not dominated by niche specialists, or even highly partisan ideologues. Likewise, we will be better prepared to respond to and challenge the justifications employed to dismantle social policy through the likes of budget balancing and austerity measures.***With the exception of the University of Melbourne's Cultural History of Economies Research Hub (CHERHub), and outside of economics and specialised departments, economics is not a popular topic among Australianist historians. An examination of history research staff and postgraduate listings at Australia's 'Group of Eight' universities - selected due to their having relatively large and diverse history departments which may indicate present research trends - displays a general lack of interest in Australia's economic and capitalist past. …" @default.
