THE ECONOMIC HISTORY OF THE
NETHERLANDS 1914–1995
What were the characteristics of economic development in Western Europe
during the twentieth century? How did the structure of enterprise, the labour
market and the state develop, and how did these institutional changes affect
economic growth? Why was the economy of the Netherlands so successful in
generating economic change? And how does this success relate to the
development of a specific Dutch institutional framework?
Jan L.van Zanden in
The economic history of the Netherlands 1914–1995
answers these questions. In the first four chapters the long-term development
of the economy is analysed in detail. Central to this part of the book are the
rise (and decline) of managerial enterprise; the growth (and fall) of trade
unions; and the expansion (and crisis) of the welfare state. The particular
Dutch features of these institutional changes are highlighted. The second part
of the book deals with different periods of growth (from 1914–1929, and
1950–1973), and relative stagnation (1929–1950, and 1973–1995).
Moreover, Van Zanden examines the role the Netherlands played in the
process of European integration, and gives an explanation of the success of
the ‘Dutch job machine’ in the 1980s and 1990s.
The economic history of the Netherlands
condenses all the most
contemporary data and analysis into one convenient volume; it will be an
invaluable resource for those studying European Economics or European
History.
