FINANCIAL CRISES AND KNOWLEDGE, HISTORICAL AND ANALYTICAL

Gary Hawke

Australian Economic History Review, 2011, vol. 51, issue 1, 1-21

Abstract: Noel Butlin would have welcomed the theme from which this paper began, ‘Financial Crises: Historical Perspectives’. Respecting his memory, I seek to use aspects of New Zealand's financial history to illuminate recent experience while acknowledging that: distinguishing transitory from significant changes is not easy; bringing historical knowledge to bear on current issues is different from mining the past for convenient arguments; and ideas and analysis need to be kept up to date. Economic analysis is far more enlightening than moral protest.
