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.

  • 89 Chapter 3 the Female Orphan School and Its
    89 CHAPTER 3 THE FEMALE ORPHAN SCHOOL AND ITS OPERATION DURING MACQUARIE’S GOVERNORSHIP The situation in the colony facing the incoming fifth Governor, was one which would require strong leadership to restore order. We shall be examining Lachlan Macquarie’s background, and also his involvement with the Female Orphan School. The part his wife Mrs Elizabeth Macquarie was to play in that institution will also engage our attention, as well as her background, her strong personality, and her leadership role as Patroness of the School. When a decision was made to relocate the School from Sydney to Arthur’s Hill, Parramatta we shall consider the Rev. Marsden’s activity in overseeing the construction. The problems he encountered in the construction will be discussed as well as the on-going inadequacies of the buildings. The enlargement of the Committee by the re-instatement of former members; by the nomination of the wives of prominent men; and by the inclusion of other gentlemen will be discussed, as well as the numerous deliberations which engaged the Committee’s attention. Changes in staff of Masters and Matrons were made in this period, and the contribution made by these people who were charged with the day-to- day running of the School will be noted. The change in the monitorial system of the School will be mentioned and the punishment meted out to one of the girls will be examined. Finally an argument linking Governor Macquarie’s humane approach to emancipists to his policies relating to the Orphan Schools, will be made in this chapter.

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.
