Trading enterprise figures prominently in Indonesian history.
Commercial activities penetrated deep into the economy, politics
and society of the former Netherlands Indies. Dutch Commerce and
Chinese Merchants in Java describes this, largely forgotten, world
of commerce. During the period 1800-1942 this vanished world was,
however, bustling. Merchants of very different background and
stature cooperated and competed with each other. Trading relations
were forged and dissolved, contracts were honoured and broken,
fortunes were made and lost. Using unpublished archival sources in
Indonesia and the Netherlands Alexander Claver recounts the diverse
trading mechanisms, complex credit relations and countless
participants involved. How Dutch, Chinese, and Arab traders related
to each other in such demanding business environment is the
fascinating story of this book.
