Chapter Chapter 2 in The Dutch Paper Industry from 1580 to the Present, 2024, pp 21-41 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter explores the emergence of the Dutch paper industry in the phase of Dutch capitalism starting from 1580. Swiftly earning acclaim as the most reputable paper industry in Europe and beyond, the chapter elucidates the distinctions between the primary paper production regions during this period, namely the Zaanstreek and the Veluwe. Offering an intricate analysis of the contrasting organization of employers and laborers, diverse politico-economic conditions and industrial integration, as well as variations in resource availability and pre-industrial innovation in each region, the chapter eloquently highlights the transitional and non-linear character of the succession from feudalismfeudalism to capitalism during that era.
