Abstract
What do the economics of decolonisation mean for the future of Aotearoa?
This question drives the work of Matthew Scobie and Anna Sturman
as they explore the complex relationship between tangata whenua and
capitalism. By weaving together historical insights and contemporary
analysis, this Text reveals the enduring infl uence of Māori economies and
illuminates how these perspectives could radically transform Aotearoa’s
political economy for the better.
Key Points:
- Māori capitalism: Examines the dynamic interplay between Māori
economic systems and capitalism in shaping Aotearoa’s future. - Decolonisation economics: Proposes how incorporating Māori
economic principles can revolutionise Aotearoa’s broader political
economy. - Future transformation: Offers a forward-looking perspective on
how decolonisation can lead to sustainable and equitable economic
models.
