Historians have investigated other aspects of railways, and writers whose interests centred on railways rather than on economic or historical development, have provided a large literature on technical matters and on inter-company rivalries. The economic impact of the railways has been relatively neglected. Until recently, the position was similar in the U.S.A. although historians or the economic development of that country had given the railways a more central role in the process of growth and generalised judgements about their impact were more common. Professors Fogel and Fishlow have however re-examined the role of the railways with a more modern economic approach and have advanced substantial revisions of the orthodox interpretation. Fogel, for example, has suggested th...

A new era of export development began in the early 1980’s with the introduction of a ‘more market’ approach. However, this did not mean the end of economic development thinking. There were concerns at the time that the non-food manufacturing sector would be decimated by the large reductions in rates of protection. This concern with the breadth of non-food manufacturing has run deep in the New Zealand psyche since the economy opened to trade early in the 19 century. New Zealand’s economic development thinking has focused on attempting to transform a very small economy, without major natural resource endowments, and distant from large foreign markets, into a nation with broadly based opportunities. This thinking was multifaceted in terms of the dispersion of output, employment, entrepreneur...

This paper discusses the arrangements under which the current project is managed, explains the significance of the RBNZ for central banking, and indicates the challenges facing the historians. A brief outline is given of the planned contents of each chapter. It is hoped that the book arising from this project will be of value to those interested in central banking and monetary policy as well as in the recent history of New Zealand. Over the years, a number of leading central banks, including the Bank of England, the Reserve Bank of Australia, and the Deutsche Bundesbank, have commissioned institutional histories. The present research project on the history of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ or the 'Bank') falls within this tradition. In 1973 the RBNZ published an official history, Between governments and banks, written by Gary Hawke. Much has happened in central banking in New Zealand since then, and in 2001 the RBNZ commissioned a new history, focusing on developments over the last three decades. At first, there was uncertainty about a suitable termination point for the project, but this conundrum was solved by the resignation in April 2002 of Dr Don Brash, the Governor since 1988, in order to take up a political career. The purpose of this brief article is to discuss the planning of the RBNZ history project and outline the scope of the research program. Under the governorship of Don Brash, the RBNZ consciously devoted greater attention than previously to explaining itself to the public and to the financial markets. The long run success of the central bank was perceived to depend on the maintenance of a public consensus in favour of low inflation-the equivalent of the 'stability culture' (Stabilitätskultur) stressed by Helmut Schlesinger, when he was President of the Deutsche Bundesbank. 1 Similarly, the creation of
