Franklin Mendels (1943-1988; originally from the Netherlands, settled in France)[1], was an economic historian, known among other things for the concept of proto-industry[2]. He defended his thesis in 1969 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, entitled "Industrialization and Population Pressure in Eighteenth-Century Flanders". His 1972 article revolutionized the reading of the Industrial Revolution[3]. In it, he explained how the dispersed industrial development in Flanders allowed peasants to lower the wedding age, which caused an increase in the population, which in turn turned to agricultural and proto-industrial pluriactivity. The increasing impoverishment of this new workforce lead to a regrouping of poor peasants in larger factories in the hands of merchant-manufacturers who were well integrated within cities[4].
