With the migration of a large number of people from the Netherlands to the islands of Australia and New Guinea in the Far East, these local provinces are no longer barren, European and American immigrants also account for about 10% of the population, and the Far East natives also account for 60% of the total population of 20 million. %, the population of the Netherlands is only 6 million.
The population and land use increase in mainland Australia, the islands of New Guinea, the East Indies and the South Pacific Islands in the Far East expanded the Dutch domestic market and production base, and also promoted the development of agriculture and industry in the Dutch Far East.
The population of 10 million Africans plus tens of millions of indigenous people in the Far East, and more than 30 million people composed of 10 million Dutch people, is no less than the population of Milliken, and it is comparable to the British and French Empires. Although the African society has developed The income is low, but it also comes out on top on the African continent and has the best development.
The indigenous people of the Far East are even better than the national economy of the Kingdom of Siam, and the per capita income is more than double that of the citizens of the Kingdom of Siam, comparable to the Russian Empire.
The per capita income of the Dutch is the highest in the world, overwhelming the British.
Under such a domestic market, the demand for agricultural products and industrial products is strong.
Stimulated by the expansion of the Far East, the demand for machines and other industrial products in the domestic market of the Netherlands gradually increased, which further promoted the development of domestic Dutch industries, and even induced the outbreak of the Dutch Industrial Revolution. This kind of virtuous circular economy makes the Netherlands gradually enter the track of rapid economic development.
Capital-zhuyi developed into a period of monopoly, and the industrialization of the Netherlands, like that of the United Kingdom, achieved rapid development, and people's ideological viewpoints also changed accordingly.
The Dutch people initially believed in the government's laissez-faire policy in economic and social affairs. In 1866, Francesco Bob, a professor at The Hague University in the Netherlands, published the book "Dutch Political Economy", which clearly pointed out this view of the Dutch and caused a good response in the Netherlands.
In 1859, the famous British biologist Darwin published "Origin of Species", which shocked the entire academic and religious circles, and strongly impacted the creation theory of "Saint jing". Darwin's "Origin of Species" put forward the theory of biological evolution, the "creationism" of religion and religion and Linnaeus and Cuvier's theory of invariance of species launched an academic revolution, which shook the world at that time.
Since the theory of evolution violates the theory of creation in the "Saint jing", it has been the focus of debate between religions and religions since its inception, especially the sentence in "The Theory of Evolution": the development of things is the rule arranged by God Control, because things have their own rules of development.
Although it has attracted a lot of opposition to the theory, after several years of development, people have gradually believed in the theory.
In the past few years, driven by the light and dark sides of William IV, the spread of Darwin's theory of evolution in the Netherlands has also contributed to this idea. Most Dutch people agree with Darwin's natural law of survival of the fittest, and help slowly apply this creed to their own. in social life.
"Human nature is self-interest, and the only motivation for people to pursue personal interests is to engage in economic activities. At the same time, people are rational. As rational economic people, people can obtain the greatest personal interests in their personal economic activities. If this Such economic activities will not be interfered with, then, guided by the 'invisible hand' of the price mechanism, people will not only maximize their personal interests, but also advance the public interest."
In January 1862, William IV was in the Dutch parliament, holding the bible "The Wealth of Nations" in his left hand and "The Theory of Evolution" in his left hand. The development of self-regulation ability in the social economy provides a real soil for the development of economic free competition.
Thanks to the strong support of William IV, the spread of these two ideas in the Netherlands further strengthened the Dutch people's laissez-faire economic strategy.
At the beginning of 1862, Professor Sackham, Dean of the School of Economics at Granningen University, ranked third in the Netherlands and 21 in the world, often used the theory of survival of the fittest to make analogies for students in class, and was influenced by students. their general welcome.
Sackham's view gradually evolved into Social Darwinism. The proposition of this theory, people's business activities and social relations, to some extent, is dominated by Darwin's theory of survival of the fittest.
Obviously, the Dutch people who advocate freedom do not like the government's strict regulation of the economy, but this does not mean that they will also oppose the government's implementation of some normative measures in the economic field.
It is under this opinion that the Dutch cabinet government and the state government have implemented a series of economic control measures. The most notable are banking laws, customs duties, the improvement of the internal structure of the legislature, and the granting of public land to railway companies. The Dutch do not believe that these regulations are contrary to the idea of free competition. On the contrary, it is these regulations that create more free space for the development of the Dutch economy. With the development of large enterprises and financial organizations and changes in Dutch social and economic relations, the Dutch are eager to obtain more goods and services brought about by industrialization, and the industry is also worried about the negative impact of new social relations.
The gradually developed large enterprises have formed a monopoly, and their powerful forces have already formed a huge threat to the stability and order of society.
The Dutch elite's concerns about industrial giants are mainly concentrated on monopoly: joining the East India Company will continue to exist. They previously owned 150 transport ships, which will monopolize more than 80% of the Dutch transportation capacity to and from the world, and then throw high monopoly prices. , is bound to jeopardize the rights and interests of the transportation industry and form a self-inflicted blow to the Dutch overseas trade. Reduce the convenience of using overseas resources in the industrialization of the Netherlands.
At present, although some monopolies do raise unreasonable prices, there is no trend yet. On the contrary, the prices of commodities are constantly falling, and it seems that monopoly is beneficial to the improvement of productivity.
Ordinary people in the Netherlands are not impressed.
However, in fact, the destruction of the economic opportunities by the monopoly and the threat to the national democracy in Helan is even more worrying.
The influence of industrial corporations and financial tycoons is more worrisome than their wealth.
Therefore, Torik, the most famous economist in the Netherlands and a professor at the University of Amsterdam, reminded this: if there are no restrictions, companies around the world will eventually control the government, and people should be convinced that the time is just not yet ripe.
The professor of Dutch conservatism reminded that "if no action is taken in recent years, the rich and the able in the Netherlands will be on one side, the ordinary people in large numbers will be on the other side, and the central force and source of power in government rule. from the latter"
And the famous international politics expert, the president of Leiden University Herman Van Perron also said, "Anarchy is bad, and what is even worse is that the power in the hands of the rich has become irresponsible power."
He proposed that the government should stand up at this time and limit the influence of enterprises.
