For seven decades, The Australian Financial Review has tracked the booms, the busts, the empire-builders, the fraudsters and the disruptors to tell the story of the rise of modern Australia.

We have written the first draft of the history of business and the nation since 1951, chronicling the contribution of enterprise to the prosperous and successful Australia of 2021.

Our timeline shows that modern Australia, share-owning, aspirational and multicultural Australia, rewards those with enterprise, welcomes new ideas and is keen to exploit our place in the world.
