Responding to a trend of renewed scholarly interest in paper industries and production, the book seeks to illuminate the factors behind this relatively small national industry’s centuries-long survival.

This book situates the Dutch paper industry within these overlapping contexts and their shifting dynamics over time, and historicizes the challenges and obstacles it had to overcome through four phases of capitalism: the rise of Dutch capitalism (1580–1815), Dutch monarchic liberalism (1815–1914), Fordism (1914–1980), and post-Fordism (1980 until now). Each chapter covers not only technological advancements in the industry, but its development alongside further determining dimensions, such as state-industry relations (industry policies), labour-capital relations (unions) and competition and cooperation, overall painting a picture of how the industry adapted to and endured changes in national and global networks surrounding the industry. This book will be of broad interest to scholars of economic and business history, as well as industrial history, political economy, and management studies. 2024-03-13T11:11:28Z 2024-03-13T11:11:28Z 2024 book ONIX_20240313_9783031543241_55 9783031543241 9783031543234 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/88373 eng Palgrave Studies in Economic History application/pdf n/a 978-3-031-54324-1.pdf https://link.springer.com/978-3-031-54324-1 Springer Nature Palgrave Macmillan 10.1007/978-3-031-54324-1 10.1007/978-3-031-54324-1 6c6992af-b843-4f46-859c-f6e9998e40d5 463e7cfe-7d4b-4abc-a2f0-57a0641e3e45 ac1a0c72-53c0-4fdd-9ef5-29bd7bd72e88 9783031543241 9783031543234 Palgrave Macmillan 149 Cham [...] [...] open access

This open access book is the first to provide an analysis of the Dutch paper industry over a period encompassing six centuries. Responding to a trend of renewed scholarly interest in paper industries and production, the book seeks to illuminate the factors behind this relatively small national industry’s centuries-long survival. Previous historical research has shown that sets of colonial, trade, merchant and family networks, tightly interwoven through a dense web of capital, were crucial for paper production and trade in early modern Europe.
