Household names, often with preserved archives, have had their company stories written by academics, journalists, and former senior employees. Broader national studies have analysed the role that big business has played in a country’s economic development. While sometimes this work has alleged oppressive anti-competitive behaviour, much has been written from a more positive perspective. Business historians, influenced by the pioneering work of Alfred Chandler, have implicated the ‘visible hand’ of large scale enterprise in national economic development particularly through their competitive strategies and modernised governance structures, which have facilitated innovation, the integration of national markets, and the growth of professional bureaucracies. While our understanding of the role of big business has been enriched by an aggregation of case studies, some writers have sought to study its impact through economy-wide lenses. This has typically involved constructing sets of the largest 100 or 200 companies at periodic benchmark years through the twentieth century, and then analysing their characteristics – such as their size, industrial location, growth strategies, and market share - and how they changed over time.

    CENTRE FOR ECONOMIC HISTORY THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY DISCUSSION PAPER SERIES ! THE AUSTRALIAN BANK CRASHES OF THE 1890S REVISITED DAVID T. MERRETT UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE DISCUSSION PAPER NO. 2013-05 APRIL 2013 THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY ACTON ACT 0200 AUSTRALIA T 61 2 6125 3590 F 61 2 6125 5124 E [email protected] http://rse.anu.edu.au/CEH The Australian Bank Crashes of the 1890s Revisited David T. Merrett University of Melbourne Abstract Financial crises occurred in many countries in the early 1890s, most of which were connected to international capital flows. Australia, a major importer of capital, had difficulty borrowing after the Baring crisis. This paper argues that the consequences of the banking crash in early 1893 were shaped by local factors. A fortuitous legislative change averted a calamity by allowing for reconstruction rather than liquidation of banks; economic activity was depressed as banks became more conservative lenders; and the reconstructions reduced the wealth of domestic bank creditors and shareholders. We conclude by noting that there was no targeted policy response in the short or medium term to prevent a recurrence of such an event. The author would like to thank the referees for this journal, together with Bernard Attard, André Sammartino, John Waugh and the participants at the Financial Crises and Workouts: Historical Perspectives Workshop at the Australian National University on 5 September 2012 for their suggestions and advice. 1 Introduction Previous studies of the Australian bank crash of the 1890s have taken a local view of the episode within the context of a surge in and then cessation of British capital inflow.

  • Dear Shareholder, the 8Th of April, 2017 Marks Westpac's 200Th
    7 April, 2017 Dear Shareholder, The 8th of April, 2017 marks Westpac’s 200th anniversary as Australia’s first bank, and oldest company. As an owner of Westpac, you share in the proud story of our company: indeed many of our shareholders’ family holdings have passed through generations. Given your support, I wanted to share with you an overview of how we are marking this significant milestone with a number of gifts designed to help Australia continue to thrive in our third century of business. The Westpac story is the red thread that winds through the tapestry of history in Australia and New Zealand. Two centuries ago, Governor Lachlan Macquarie had the foresight to call for the creation of a local currency—and a bank to issue it—to support the development of a private economy in the fledgling colony of New South Wales. On the 8th of April, 1817 three employees of the Bank of New South Wales opened the doors to our first customer in a property owned by Mary Reibey, around 200 metres from where today the ferries dock at Sydney’s Circular Quay. Since then we have continued to support the growth of trade and commerce in Australia and New Zealand. There have been the inevitable ups and downs but just as these nations have grown and adapted, so too has the Bank of New South Wales—now called Westpac. Today, our 40,000 people serve over 13 million customers across Australia and New Zealand. We are Australia’s second largest company, with a market capitalisation of over $100 billion.

  • D'arcy Wentworth
    Obituaries Australia People Australia Indigenous Australia Women Australia Labour Australia Australian Dictionary of Biography Wentworth, D'Arcy (1762–1827) by J. J. Auchmuty This article was published in Australian Dictionary of Biography, Volume 2, (MUP), 1967 D'Arcy Wentworth (1762?-1827), medical practitioner and public servant, was born near Portadown, Ireland, the sixth of the eight children of D'Arcy Wentworth and his wife, Martha Dickson, also of County Armagh. The first of the Irish Wentworths to come to Australia could trace his ancestry through twenty generations from Robert of Wentworth Woodhouse in Yorkshire in the thirteenth century. His descendant, D'Arcy Wentworth, went to Ireland as agent in Athlone to Wentworth Dillon, fourth earl of Roscommon, during the reign of Charles II, served in 1689 in the army of William III and established himself as a landowner at Fyanstown Castle in County Meath. Some Irish Wentworths intermarried into the leading Anglo-Irish families, but Robert, the third of the Irish Wentworths of Fyanstown Castle, was an impecunious barrister with political ambitions which he failed to realize even though a distant kinsman of the marquis of Rockingham, and under him the family resources were completely dissipated. His son D'Arcy, the father of the subject of this sketch, was an innkeeper at Portadown; but however far the Irish Wentworths had financially fallen from their high estate, they still claimed relationship with Rockingham, Lord Fitzwilliam and the earl of Strafford. By 1822 William Wentworth, the elder brother of D'Arcy of Parramatta, was probably the senior representative of the male line of the family which had established itself at Wentworth Woodhouse, though he had no hereditary claim to the earldom of Strafford.

To which is prefixed a plain address to convicts on their arrival ... Sydney, printed by G. Howe Government Printer, 1819. Mitchell Library, State Library of NSW Notable Convicts The Reserve Bank of Australia is a custodian of colonial records, including records that document money belonging to convicts. Although convicts transported to New South Wales are often portrayed as penniless, they usually arrived in the colony with sums of money. Convicts were encouraged to lodge their money in one of the colony’s banks. In a pamphlet titled Address to convicts on their arrival …, Barron Field, Judge of the Supreme Court, offered the advice: ‘Many of you bring small Sums of Money from England, your own Savings or the Bounty of your Friends … Instead of trusting those Sums to any private Individual, you are recommended to place them in the public Saving Bank, at Mr Robert Campbell’s, senior, Merchant, in George-street, Sydney …’ Name Mary Ann Conway Age 20 years of age upon arrival in NSW Religion Roman Catholic Complexion Fair, ruddy and pockmarked skin Hair & eyes Brown hair and light blue eyes Particular marks or scars A raised dark mole on the right side of her chin and a scar on the back right side of her neck Calling Needle woman and house maid Education Able to read and write Where convicted Tried in Limerick, Ireland for stealing a cloak When convicted 1 January 1836 Sentence Transported to New South Wales for seven years; arrived on the ship Thomas Harrison, in 1836 Savings Deposited 2 pounds, 10 shillings and 7 pence in the Savings Bank of New South Wales.

  • Women in Colonial Commerce 1817-1820: the Window of Understanding Provided by the Bank of New South Wales Ledger and Minute Books
    WOMEN IN COLONIAL COMMERCE 1817-1820: THE WINDOW OF UNDERSTANDING PROVIDED BY THE BANK OF NEW SOUTH WALES LEDGER AND MINUTE BOOKS Leanne Johns A thesis presented for the degree of Master of Philosophy at the Australian National University, Canberra August 2001 DECLARATION I certify that this thesis is my own work. To the best of my knowledge and belief it does not contain any material previously published or written by another person where due reference is not made in the text. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I acknowledge a huge debt of gratitude to my principal supervisor, Professor Russell Craig, for his inspiration and encouragement throughout the writing of this thesis. He gave insightful and expert advice, reassurance when I needed it most, and above all, never lost faith in me. Few supervisors can have been so generous with their time and so unfailing in their support. I also thank sincerely Professor Simon Ville and Dr. Sarah Jenkins for their measured and sage advice. It always came at the right point in the thesis and often helped me through a difficult patch. Westpac Historical Services archivists were extremely positive and supportive of my task. I am grateful to them for the assistance they so generously gave and for allowing me to peruse and handle their priceless treasures. This thesis would not have been possible without their cooperation. To my family, who were ever enthusiastic about my project and who always encouraged and championed me, I offer my thanks and my love. Finally, this thesis is dedicated to the thousands of colonial women who endured privations, sufferings and loneliness with indomitable courage.

Therein lay its attraction for men from the educated lower middle orders of British society with limited means. Charles Nicholson once remarked that one factor making life in the Colony tolerable was the opportunity given to every individual of quality to affect the course of history.1 Few immigrants could boast of their lineage but most aspired to be recognised as gentlemen. As a group they accepted unguestioningly the familiar ideology of the British aristocracy and aimed to form the landed elite of a similarly hierarchical society. They could not replicate that aristocracy's antiquity, wealth, or acceptance, to some extent, of its claims by the rest of society. While as the Rev. Ralph Mansfield testified in 1845: "Nearly all the respectable portion of our community, whatever their legitimate profession . are in some sense farmers and graziers'^ a few colonists could remember when even the oldest of the 'ancient nobility' were landless. The aspirant gentry were 'go getters' on the make and while some had been imbued with notions of leadership, command and social responsiblity during service careers as a group they lacked the British aristocracy's sense of obligation and service.

  • Malcolm Pearse, 'Australia's Early Managers'
    AUSTRALIA’S EARLY MANAGERS Malcolm Pearse1 Macquarie University Abstract The origins of managers and management have been studied comprehensively in Great Britain, Europe and the United States of America, but not in Australia. Most scholars have looked at Australia’s history in the twentieth century to inform the literature on the modern enterprise, big business and management, but the role of the manager or agent was established in many businesses by the 1830s. There were salaried managers in Australia as early as 1799, appointed to oversee farms. The appointment of managers in Australia from as early as 1799 continued the practice of British institutions in some industries. But in other contexts, management practice departed from British practice, demonstrating largely adaptive, rather than repetitive features. As the wool industry dominated the economy, the range of industries grew and managers or agents were appointed to businesses such as public companies, which were formed from at least 1824. During the 1830s, there were managers of theatres, hotels, merchant houses, and in whaling, cattle, sheep, shipping and banking activities. As banking expanded during the 1830s and 1840s, so did the number of managers. Bank managers were appointed both with the entry of new banks and with branch expansion. As banks expanded their branch network, the number of managers increased. The establishment of branches continued another British institution in the colonial context and further reinforced the manager’s role. The rise of the salaried manager in Australia was harnessed to the rise of the public company and began as early as the 1840s but was more evident during the second half of the nineteenth century, when public companies grew bigger and prominent in strategically important industries such as grazing, sugar, water, engineering, electricity, banking, insurance and shipping, river and stage coach transport.
