Chapter 36 in An Economist’s Guide to Economic History, 2018, pp 309-317 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Both Australia and New Zealand share similar historical characteristics, having European, typically British, settler origins. This chapter discusses the two original economic drivers of this world region: agriculture and mining. Differences between Australia and New Zealand discussed here include the enfranchisement of indigenous populations, land use and ownership structures, sources and nature of immigration and the management of natural resources.
