This is a brilliant series of interviews with Dr Neville Bennett.
It took a little work, but I've collected the set together onto this one page so you can download the set more easily and listen to them.

Opinion: Boom and bust in the 1870s by Neville Bennett

This article goes well with the radio interview series:

Opinion: Boom and bust in the 1870s
http://www.interest.co.nz/ratesblog/index.php/2009/09/26/opinion-boom-an...

Quote:
The Boom; beginnings

New Zealand’s prosperity before the 1970’s was closely associated with the British market for goods, services and capital. British recessions, as in 1868, 1879, and 1885, brought marked falls in NZ exports. Similarly when export values were high, migrants crowded in: 93,000 arrived 1861-5 but only 29,000 in 1881-85. In recessions, there was net emigration in 1886-1890, and 1931-1935.

British interest in New Zealand arose when it could provide a staple product that was non-perishable with a high value/low volume characteristic such as gold. Wool was more important, Britain’s demand had outrun the possibility of European supply, and New Zealand had obvious potential; bring successive waves of population to the South Island. Greasy wool fetched 15 pence a pound in the 1860 and early 1870’s, an extraordinary figure. For the period 1850-70, NZ’s exports grew at a compound rate of 13.3% p.a. which I believe was the world’s fastest.
