Abstract
In 1968, J.A. de Jonge published an important study concerning industrialization in the Netherlands between 1850 and 1914.1 This was the first step towards an analysis based on the theory of economic growth. The purpose of the present article is to draw up a balance sheet of the methodical updating of the research into industrialization and economic growth in the Netherlands in the nineteenth century, which commenced with the work of De Jonge, has been taken over by other authors and is still continuing.
