The Dirty Secret of Early Modern Capitalism (eBook, PDF)

The Global Reach of the Dutch Arms Trade, Warfare and Mercenaries in the Seventeenth Century

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This study investigates a less-than-wholesome chapter in capitalism's early manifestation in the Dutch Republic and its seventeenth-century global economic entanglements in the arms trade and mercenary warfare, showing how the Dutch accumulation of great wealth was closely linked to their involvement in warfare at home and far abroad.
