6 Acknowledgements In the late afternoon of Sunday 11 January 1998 my plane landed in Mexico-city, where I set off for a journey by bike across the astonishingly beautiful landscape of Central and South America. All the way to Buenos Aires I met people who offered me food, shelter and companion. Ever since this journey I cherish the memory of their liveliness and hospitality. I guess it is safe to say that, in my mind, this project has already started a decade ago. During the past four years of work on my PhD-thesis I received the support, help and encouragements of collegues, which is crucial for the success of such an undertaking. First of all, I wish to express my gratitude to my supervisors Jan Pieter Smits and Bart van Ark. Thanks to his unique personality, Jan Pieter fluently combined his role as personal coach, critic, co-author and sparring-partner. His support was unconditional and our conversations were an inexhaustible source of inspiration. Bart was often literally hanging somewhere around in the air. He nevertheless always managed to keep track of my progress and provided me with good advice and clear directions at decisive moments. Perfect complements from an economic point of view. My colleagues from the Economic and Social History department, Rainer Fremdling, Herman de Jong and Ben Gales, were helpful in many ways. I have particularly benefited from their efforts to establish a solid PhD-training program for the N.W.Posthumus Instituut. I would further like to thank Lies Baars, Herma van der Vleuten, Astrid van der Veen, Marcel Timmer, Gaaitzen de Vries, Jaap Sleifer, Robert Inklaar, Bart Los, Carolina Castaldi, Katrin Muehlfeld, Abdul Erumban, Gerard Ypma, Edwin Stuivenwold, Job Woltjer, Dirk Bezemer and my room mates Ward Romp, Lammertjan Dam, Richard Jong-A-Pin and Janneke Pieters for providing a pleasant work environment. I would like to thank Jutta Bolt in particular. Apart from being a great colleague, she is a wonderful friend. For the rewarding cooperation in national and international research projects I thank Hedwig Duteweerd, Wim Pullen, Theo van der Voordt, Vlad Manole, Andrew Tank and Thomas Lindblad. I would like to thank Daan Marks in particular for sharing his ideas, insights and enthusiasm in our joint work on Indonesia. For feedback on different parts of my research I am indebted to Marcel Timmer, Herman de Jong, Peer Vries, Jan Luiten van Zanden, Oscar Gelderblom, Thomas Lindblad, Ann Booth, Thee Kian Wie, Daan Marks, i

I will never forget the warm welcome I received from the indefatigable Thee Kian Wie during my research visit to Indonesia, Jakarta (spring 2003). My visit to the Center for the Evolution of the Global Economy at UC Davis (summer and fall 2006) has been crucial for this project in various ways. I am particularly grateful to Alan Taylor, who not only granted me this opportunity, but also turned out to be a formidable host. Celebrating Thanksgiving with Grec Clark is unforgettable. I have very much appreciated his hospitality. I thank Gavin Wright for inviting me to the Economic History and Development Economics seminar at Stanford University. Financial support for my visit to California was granted by the Dutch Science Foundation (NWO). I am grateful to James Simpson for inviting me at the Departamento de Historia Económica e Instituciones of the Universidad Carlos III, Madrid (spring 2007). I hope to return for a next visit soon! Finally, I thank Jan Luiten van Zanden en Maarten Prak for welcoming me at the Economic and Social History department in Utrecht. I am really looking forward to this new phase in academic life. Although the efforts and struggles are incomparable, this book is ultimately as much the product of my parents as it is of my own. Among all those other things, my parents have thought me the value of curiosity and non-conformism, essential ingredients for an explorative mind. Their support has simply been indispensable. For more than ten years now, Arjanne withstands my whims and recurring periods of stress. She picks up whatever I forget or leave behind and at the same time, with unparalleled charm and subtlety, remembers me of the more important things in life. Looking back, it was no coincidence that Julian arrived five weeks ahead of our schedule, one day before I was to receive the signature. He clearly is a son of his mother. This book is dedicated to my loved ones. Groningen, Friday 11 January 2008, Ewout ii
