This is William Keith Hancock's famous 1930 survey of Australia. The book is divided into four chapters: (i)"Foundations," which traces the origins of "white Australia;" (ii) "Political Economy," in which Hancock argues forcefully against Australian protectionism; (iii) "Politics;" and (iv) "Civilisation," which analyzes Australian culture and intellectual life. This book inspired many historians and political scientists when it was first published in 1930, and it continues to receive attention today.
