Description
This paper by J.C. Altman examines the economic status of Indigenous Australians as a self-identifying group. It is an early version of an entry to the 2nd edition of the Encyclopedia of the Australian People, published in 2001.
Indigenous Australians today face a diversity of economic circumstances. It can be argued that nowhere are the differences between Indigenous institutions and those of the colonisers of Australia more marked than in the economic system.
