From its earliest days the city of Auckland has thrived on business; it quickly became and still remains the commercial and financial capital of the country. This important book, published to celebrate the centenary of the University of Auckland Commerce Faculty and the opening of the new Business School, sets Auckland business history in the wider context of New Zealand’s economic growth and also includes cutting-edge studies on aspects of that history. Written by leading scholars, chapters cover Maori enterprise, maritime history, important companies such as the Auckland Gas Co, the Farmers Trading Co and Ross & Glendining, the timber trade, the stock and station industry, newspapers, and accounting.

Auckland University Press 2006, 272pp, hard cover and dust jacket. Ex library copy in very good clean condition.
