In the nineteenth century, the Netherlands and its colonial
holdings in Java were the sites of dramatically increased
industrialization. Led by a group of "merchant kings" who
exemplified gentlemanly capitalism, this ambitious trading project
transformed the small, economically moribund Netherlands into a
global power. Merchant Kings offers a fascinating interdisciplinary
exploration of this episode and reveals not only the distinctive
nature of the Dutch state, but the surprising extent to which its
nascent corporate innovations were rooted in early welfare
initiatives. By placing colony and metropole into a single
analytical frame, this book offers a bracing new approach to
understanding the development of modern corporations.
