The Dutch Republic, despite its small size and population, functioned as the hub of world trade, shipping, and finance for over a century following the fall of Antwerp in 1585. This is the first general account of Dutch world-trade hegemony in all its aspects from its origins as a depot for "bulk-carrying" in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries to its collapse in the eighteenth century.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Not only offers a wide-ranging synthesis but also stimulates further inquiries and debates. For both reasons it constitutes a superior achievement."--Journal of Modern History

"A persuasive corrective to earlier interpretations."--American Historical Review

"This is a very useful and judiciously written book, in which the author, a recognized authority on early Dutch history, places his own findings within the context of ongoing debate on Dutch commercial activity. He has refined and modified conclusions drawn previously by Braudel and Immanuel Wallerstein about the role of the Dutch in the overall seventeenth- and eighteenth-century world economy, and has made a genuinely important contribution to our knowledge and understanding of the economic history of the Early Modern world."--The International History Review

"Jonathan Israel has written a masterful book and has provided us with the best summary of seventeenth-century Dutch trade to date. The book is full of illustratyions and tables on particular branches of the trade."--Hispanic American Historical Review

"This volume is essential reading for specialists and for anyone who wants an up-to-date analysis of the essential place of the Netherands in the development of world capitalism in the early modern period."--Journal of World History

    1.0 out of 5 stars Terribly inaccurate
    Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2009
    Format: Paperback
    Don't bother buy this book. It's horribly inaccurate. For example, in a single paragraph on page 111 nearly everything this author wrote is inaccurate:

    "Whales had been hunted off the north of Norway by Spanish Basque whalers, sailing from San Sebastian, for over a century." The first documented Spanish Basque whaling expeditions weren't sent to Northern Norway until the 1610s.

    "Then, in the 1590s, the English Muscovy Company began hunting whales in the seas around Nova Zemblaya and Beren Island, as well as walrus on land." There are no documented English whaling expeditions to either locale during this period.

    "Around 1609 the first Dutch whaling ships went out to Nova Zemblaya." The first Dutch whaling expedition was sent out to Spitsbergen in 1613.

    "The very next year, 1612, French, Spanish, and Dutch firms began to follow the English example." This sentence is in reference to the first whaling expeditions sent by each country to Spitsbergen. Only the Spanish sent a whaling expedition this year (the French and Dutch only sending whaling expeditions the following year).

    "In 1613 the London Muscovy Company sent seven vessels, which were joined by four other English whaling ships." According to the two accounts written by Robert Fotherby and William Baffin, only one other English whaling ship was met by the London fleet. Edge, writing in 1622, says there were four, which is, as shown above, inaccurate. The author apparently didn't bother to read either of these sources.

    I could probably cite countless other cases, but I believe the above quotes are enough to show the author didn't bother do enough research for this book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Anyone interested in how Netherlands or Seven Provinces became first ...
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 12, 2018
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Anyone interested in how Netherlands or Seven Provinces became first power of Europe should look in to the tables about volume of trade made by Dutch traders in every corner of then known world. As a small country of around 1.5 million people they resisted Spain and later Louis XIV because they had a huge financial backing with developed system of banking, exchange letters and bonds for which I believe laid foundations of today`s economy and at very least made a pattern still in practice in 21st century. So, for deeper understanding of how "they made it" this is a book for a reader.
