In the nineteenth century, the Netherlands and its colonial holdings in Java were the sites of dramatically increased industrialization. Led by a group of "e;merchant kings"e; who exemplified gentlemanly capitalism, this ambitious trading project transformed the small, economically moribund Netherlands into a global power.

By placing colony and metropole into a single analytical frame, this book offers a bracing new approach to understanding the development of modern corporations.
