The New Zealand timber economy, 1840-1935

Auteur :
ROCHE, M. M.

Description :
The paper examines the changing place and status of the timber economy over the hundred years following European colonization. Initial high expectations for the timber trade as an export earner were not realized. A significant transformation occurred after 1900 because of a timber famine, which saw a stricking move by the state to control the industry and signalled a shift into large scale exotic afforestaties schemes.
