The National Economic Summit can be viewed as a symptom of the extensive use of authority in the Australian economy and equally an expression of the limitations of what can be achieved with centralized authority. An examination of the documentation left by the summit provides an opportunity to assess the implications of policy choices which use persuasion and authority rather than market disciplines.
