This text aims to provide an understanding of the contemporary economic and social conditions of Australia. It provides coverage of Australian living conditions and of the economic, social and political processes that influence them. Topics covered include the demographic distribution of the continent, the nature of the economy, the quality of life, the role of the government and Australia's place in the world economy. "Contemporary Australia" is not only concerned with the present but also suggests what living conditions will be like in the future. The underlying message throughout is that geography matters: geographical location significantly affects both living conditions and levels of economic development.
