<br/><br/> "Capitalism in Amsterdam in the 17th Century is a brilliant and provocative study of the city that has played one of the major roles in the history of capitalism. Violet Barbour reveals its vast network of economic and social institutions. She also discusses the Amsterdammer himself. Wealthy and immune to nationalism, he was very much a Man without a Country. The emergence of Amsterdam in the 17th century represented the climax of the Golden Age of the merchant city - an era which foreshadowed today's concept of the Common Market." -- From the back cover.
