Abstract
Harvey Franklin, VUW Emeritus Geography Professor was born in Birmingham (1928) and died in Wellington in 2015, aged 87. He arrived in 1951 (aged 23) and retired in 1993 (Dominion Post, 2015). In 1995, Franklin's research on European peasantry and social and economic development of New Zealand had been recognised in his election as a fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand, and the Award of a Doctor of Literature. As well as substantial contributions to the geographical literature Harvey made important interventions relevant to the sociology of New Zealand society, even though this is not apparent from the pages of New Zealand Sociology where his books failed to even generate a review. Nonetheless, as David Pearson, for example, recalls, his work was acknowledged in several sociological studies of urban and social change (see, for example, Pearson, 1980; Spoonley et al, 1994) and he took full part in interdisciplinary social science discussions at Victoria during his career.Under Keith Buchanan and Harvey Franklin, VUW geography was explicitly separate in its orientation from other mainstream New Zealand departments which were particularly concerned with man-environment relations, spatial patterns and regions. Eschewing - but supportive of - physical geography (despite the historical importance of Cotton) VUW geography was resolutely socio-economic (Franklin & Winchester, 1993).Franklin's earlier work focused on community. Two long essays (based on research work in the 1950s) focusing on interpreting the various community structures comprise his contributions to Forster's book of readings (Social Process in New Zealand, 1969). He endeavoured to fashion analytical tools to more succinctly describe and illuminatingly explain as he makes explicit in a postscript to one of those essays.My intention in writing this paper in 1957 (see Franklin, 1958) was to establish the community as a meaningful framework within which New Zealand society might be analysed. Later in the Village and the Bush I sought to demonstrate how this could be done - at least for one of the smaller and less complex types of community. By the use of age structures I sought to identify the major communities, arguing that a significantly different age structure was evidence of a significantly different type of community. ..Age structures reflect the social and economic forces at work within a community, and so long as they remain substantially unaltered the demographic features ought to reflect this continuity (p. 73).[And summing up] Although I still believe it would be valid to apply the concept of the dairying and sheep-farming community, and the concept of the provincial city and especially the borough community to the analysis of contemporary New Zealand society... yet applied to the metropolitan area the limitation of the concept are severe (p. 74).Later he turned his attention to the broader structure of the New Zealand economy and society. His magnum opus Trade Growth and Anxiety provided a societal analysis, which might be compared to Porter's Vertical Mosaic on Canada or Dahrendorf's examination of Society and Democracy in Germany, and filled a major void in New Zealand social science. The book is particularly concerned with the lag in New Zealand's adaption to a changing world economy (and geopolitics) given its built-in inertia of a comforting (but, in Franklin's view, an unsustainable) welfare state. The book analyses the structure of the economy, the welfare state but also the regions and suburbs. His prescient anxiety concerns the widening inequalities and social disorganisation (e.g. crime) accumulating in New Zealand cities as the overall structure of the political economy flexes. Again, analytical tools are developed - in this case out of the inter-industry matrices which he simplifies into a model of 4 broad sectors. Several other systems diagrams are developed. Sorokin's typology of different types of culture is drawn on, and Janowitz's sociology of the welfare state, while he gently distances himself from Marxian analyses. …

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
