Since the 1950s the Norwegian textile industry has experienced a prolonged decline that has been more marked than in other OECD countries. In trying to explain this decline the author emphasizes path dependence or the importance of history and political factors. Since the late 1890s the Norwegian textile industry seems to have worked more assiduosly to gain protection than to adjust and be innovative in relation to changing market conditions and production technologies. Political success as lobbyists and rent-seekers made many managers act as if the main responsibility for the industry sfuture lay with government and not among the textile firms, themselves
