The Financial Colonisation of Aotearoa by Catherine Comyn was released last year and was long-listed in 2024 Ockham NZ Book Awards non-fiction category.
Catherine set out to understand how unfettered and opportunistic global capitalism was involved in the colonisation of New Zealand through institutions like the New Zealand Company.
She spoke to Emile Donovan about why she wrote the book, what she found out and if anybody will be held accountable - way after the fact.
