Abstract
When we were approached by Australia's Commonwealth Department of Primary Industries and Energy (DPIE) in June 1993 and asked to write a report on rural Australia, the officials there did not have in mind the document now in your hands. They asked us to prepare a paper that would focus on strategies for advancing "rural development" through education and entrepreneurship. While they encouraged us to establish the broader context-to sketch the whole puzzle into which the education and entrepreneurship pieces could be placed-this was assumed to be a minor part of the assignment.
