This centennial history traces how an Australian economics society evolved since 1925 amid shifting trends.

This centennial history of the Economic Society of Australia describes how the Society has evolved since 1925 against a background of rapidly changing trends in the Australian economics profession and profound developments in the Australian economy. It also addresses the Society's challenges in light of financial strictures, a variable membership base, the splintering of participation since the 1980s, and now the internationalisation of the Australian university economics profession. The Society has addressed its long-term gender imbalance with the creation of a highly successful Women in Economics Network, and it continues to evolve using new technologies to replace older models of professional publishing and communication.
