Description

Explore the rise and fall of a global powerhouse with The First Modern Economy. Published by Cambridge University Press, this book offers a detailed economic history of the Netherlands from 1500 to 1815. It examines the period known as the Golden Age, tracing the nation's journey to European economic leadership and its subsequent decline. The authors present a strong argument that the Dutch system functioned as the first modern economy. They support this claim through deep analysis of major economic sectors, social structures, and macro-economic performance. Readers gain a clear understanding of how the Netherlands operated within its broader European and world context. This text covers essential topics including inter-continental trade and colonial commerce. It also provides a look at the environmental factors that shaped the economic landscape. Whether you are a student of history or a professional in business and economics, this book provides a comprehensive look at one of the most significant economic eras in history.
