In 2009, Llewellyn-Smith co-authored The Great Crash of 2008 with Australian economist Ross Garnaut. [5] [6] The book was published by Melbourne University Press. The authors attribute the global financial crisis to four factors: global imbalances; [7] global housing bubbles, the emergence of "clever money" and increasing greed. [8]

Criticism

In 2022, in response to a proposed security deal between the Solomon Islands and China, Llewellyn-Smith called for Australia to invade the islands and "engineer regime change in Honiara". [14] In response, South China Morning Post's Alex Lo stated in an opinion piece that Llewellyn-Smith's position was "irrational", [15] and that it "would have been funny if the piece was written by just another right-wing head case". [16]
