The new book What a Capital Idea – Australia 1770-1901 lifts the lid off the Australian story and present the most comprehensive and accurate record of Australian history ever published.

Author, Christopher Reynolds, explains: “What a Capital Idea is not just another history book that runs through the events of Australia’s history since settlement. I thoroughly investigate the reasons for political and commercial decisions – chasing down the money trail and looking for the context and people behind events like never before.”

Reynolds, uses his wide ranging knowledge to analyse original legislation, documents and personal accounts to reveal the political, social and economic forces that created and moulded Australia’s development. By exploring historical events from the perspectives of sociology, law, and political science, it is the breadth of perspective, the depth of consideration, and the focuses on economic development that makes this work unique. Indeed, at every turn, the research challenges the validity of the prevailing narrative of Australia’s history. Yet, the scholarship is tempered by an easy-to-read style that draws the reader on like a novel.
