The growth and subordination of the Maori economy in the Wellington region of New Zealand, 1840-52 [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
During the initial period contact period, capitalism stimulated the rapid growth of the Maori economy. This economy competed successfully with the two European economies for land, agricultural markets and wage employment, but although cash flows into the economy were large, traditional society remained relatively unchanged. economic conflict degenerated into inter-racial violence which required state intervention. Crown Colony government was charged with the preservation of Maori society and the aid of settler capitalism; two contradictory policies since each race competed for the same limited resources. Although the war was inconclusive, side effects from state intervention weakened the Maori economy and strengthened the European economies. Maori agricultural production decline, capitalist labour and property relations were accepted for the first time, and land alienation increased sharply. During the 1850s, Maori population decreased and Maoris lived a marginal existence as subsistence agriculturalists and occasional labourers.
