Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Starting in the 17th century, the Dutch Republic was the first nation to experience a phenomenon the author calls the Great Divergence, a radical shift to modern economic growth unseen in the rest of the world at the time. This book examines this phenomenon in great depth, with a focus on the Dutch maritime empire and financial revolution. The author argues that the Netherlands achieved such economic growth in large part due to institutions and ideas distinct from other European countries, allowing them to capitalize on their maritime trade monopoly. This book provides an extensive look at economic history and will fascinate historians and anyone interested in the development of modern capitalism.
