Abstract

Is the German economist Gustav von Schmoller (1838–1917) a forgotten economist in the Netherlands? To answer this question my essay investigates his influence during the turbulent years of high capitalism which lasted from 1870 up to 1940. During these years the Netherlands, like Germany, experienced class and labour conflicts involving strikes to enforce wage increases, humane working conditions and participation. In his scholarly writings Schmoller feared revolutions which governments had to prevent with social reforms including the maintenance of the right of association and the establishment of boards of conciliation and arbitration. My essay examines his views about labour relations in Dutch parliamentary debates and economics. To determine the familiarity of Dutch economists with Schmoller I pay special attention to the economists Marie Willem Frederik Treub (1858–1931) and Johannes Antonius (1886–1955).
