The traditional thinking is that the pastoral economy led the growth of the colony into the second half of the 19th century, however the first half of the 1800s has been re-examined and it is the case that a secondary industry built around manufacturing led the growth, particularly in the last years of the Macquarie Administration. This development of a secondary industry followed the rise and strength of the numerous government business enterprises. In the need to cut back on convicts in government service, many small cottage ventures were cut off from the main Lumber Yard operations to be privatized and form the first of the manufacturing industries that would support the colonial economy well into the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gordon Beckett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1466927755\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781466927759\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Trafford Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/17\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.88d","brand":"Gordon Beckett","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48453665489151,"sku":"9781466927759","price":36.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a912fe82-a839-4765-9d75-8f6d51fb71cf.jpg?v=1777301528","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/industries-that-formed-a-colony-gordon-beckett-9781466927759","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
