The Land Boomers is a vivid and influential account of Victoria’s great land boom and financial collapse of the 1880s and 1890s. Blending economic history with social commentary and political scandal, Michael Cannon traces the speculators, financiers, politicians, and dreamers who fuelled one of Australia’s most dramatic boom-and-bust periods.
