Alexander John Millmow is an Australian economic historian, journalist, and author. Formerly an associate professor at Federation University Australia,[2] he is an honorary research fellow at Australian National University and a adjunct associate professor at Federation,[3] and is president of the History of Economic Thought Society of Australia.[4]
Millmow was an early advocate of increasing economics education in schools because of the decline in practical economic literacy in Australia.[5] He also believes politicians in the 1970s and 1980s acted more boldly than politicians of the 2020s.[6] He has cautioned the Albanese Government that its plans to make the Reserve Bank of Australia completely independent are undermining Australian Labor Party history.[7]
