本文涉及凯恩和霍普金斯对大英帝国的分析，以及与此密切相关的定居者资本主义文献。在凯恩和霍普金斯看来，帝国由贪婪的食利者所统治，而王国则由依附和合作的精英所管理。本文首先对新西兰南岛的富裕移民进行了全面分析。注意到大多数富裕的定居者并不是来自殖民地，即使是那些与大都市资本联系最紧密的殖民金融家也追求地方议程，这将表明，所考虑的史学需要通过更好地理解殖民地与大都市经济之间的动态关系来平衡。本文认为，定居者资本主义是一个值得使用的模式，但它的效用将大大扩展的定居者资本主义以及定居者资本主义的重点。
This article engages with Cain and Hopkins’ analysis of the British Empire, and the closely related literature of settler capitalism. For Cain and Hopkins, the Empire was dominated by gentlemanly rentiers, and the dominions were run by a dependent and collaborating elite. This paper rests in the first instance on a comprehensive analysis of wealthy settlers in the South Island of New Zealand. In noting that most settlers who became wealthy were not of gentlemanly origins, and that even those colonial financiers most closely tied to metropolitan capital pursued local agendas, it will suggest that the historiography under consideration needs to be balanced by a better understanding of the dynamic relationship between colonies and the metropolitan economy. The paper argues that settler capitalism is a model worth using, but that its utility will be greatly extended by a focus on settler capitalists as well as settler capitalism.
