Economics, 1976-1996

Component identifier:

Series 5

Content Summary:

This series consists of files and loose papers on subjects which fall within a broad definition of 'economics'. This includes: employment and unemployment; income and wages; restructure of the public service; taxation; international debt, debt relief and overseas aid; the International Monetary Fund and World Bank; the exchange rate and currency markets; foreign investment; public infrastructure; and a review of economics courses in universities. No attempt has been made by the Library to arrange the papers, which consist of articles written by Langmore and other writers, speeches, press releases, correspondence, Hansard excerpts, reports and press clippings. Some manila files of papers and juxtaposed loose items which date from Langmore's period as Economic Adviser between 1976 and 1983, and which were not interfiled with papers of a later period, have been transferred to Series 2. Other papers from this period remain in this series and can be located by date. Papers relating to Langmore's other interests and activities can be found in Series 6.

Immediate source of acquisition:

The papers were donated to the Library by John Langmore in 1996.
