DISTRIBUTION OF INCOME AND WEALTH
CHILDREN LIVING IN POVERTY Spinney Press
Of the estimated 2.2 billion children worldwide, about a billion, or every second child, lives in poverty. Nearly
600,000 or 17.3% of children in Australia are living in poverty; one in four children from single-parent families live
in poverty. It is ironic that while child poverty rates are decreasing globally, a wealthy nation like Australia has
gone backwards in recent years. What are the various measures of poverty, including extreme poverty and
hunger? What are its causes and the effects of poverty on children’s health and wellbeing? And what can be done
to give impoverished children a better chance in life? This book examines the problems of child poverty from a
global and Australian perspective.

GLOBALISATION AND TRADE
FREE TRADE AND GLOBALISATION Spinney Press ISBN: 9781922084361
Globalisation and trade liberalisation has significantly altered Australia’s trading environment over the past thirty
or so years. Historically, Australia used forms of protection such as tariffs and subsidies to raise the price of
imports and keep domestic industries competitive, thereby adding to the cost of living as everyone paid extra to
support these industries. However, since the 1980s Australia and many of the world’s economies have
implemented substantial reductions in trade barriers. This book provides an overview of Australia’s trade
performance and free trade agreements. What are the effects of increased trade liberalisation on Australia and
developing countries? A range of opinions is also presented regarding Australia’s free trade practices. Do the
benefits of globalisation outweigh its negative impacts? What are the advantages and disadvantages of free
trade versus protectionism? Is free trade actually fair?
