This book brings together the results of fresh scholarly research
to present a unique overview of the financial history of the
Netherlands from the sixteenth century onwards. The Netherlands has
always occupied a role in international finance way out of
proportion with its geographical size. Since the eighteenth
century, the country has been one of the largest exporters of
capital in the world. In addition, several important financial
innovations were pioneered in the Netherlands, such as a funded
public debt, the famous Amsterdam Wisselbank, large public limited
companies with transferable shares, and securitized international
loans. The book shows the evolution of the Dutch financial system
during nearly four and a half centuries, detailing the close
interrelationship between currency policy, public finance, and
banking.
