In the wake of the publication of Forrester's World Dynamics and
Meadow's The Limits to Growth-books which in The Netherlands may
have received ex cessive attention from the public at large-the
Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO)
established a commission under the chair manship of the late
Professor R. Timman. The commission received the task of trying to
find a sound philosophical basis for world modelling and to
stimulate the building of models that incorporated those aspects of
society which are usu ally left out of mathematical models because
of technical difficulties. The study that is discussed in this text
was started under the auspices of the TNO commis sion. Timman died
early in 1975. The commission then came under the chair manship of
Professor P. de Wolff. TNO generously provided the means to acquire
the computer time necessary to continue our study. We also wish to
express our gratitude to the Statistical Office of the European
Communities (SOEC) for their willingness to put the necessary data
at our dis posal in a form suitable for computer processing. Mr. H.
Krijnse Locker's expert knowledge in the field of input-output
statistics has especially been of great sup port to us. We are much
indebted to Professor A. P. J. Abrahamse for his interest in our
work and for all the valuable comments and corrections we received
from him. v vi PREFACE We are grateful to Mr. P. van Batenburg, Mr.
