| How did the Dutch Golden Age transform the Netherlands into a global economic and cultural power? This book examines the Dutch Golden Age in the 17th century, when the Dutch Republic became a leading global power in trade, finance, and the arts. It discusses the causes of this remarkable period, including the Dutch struggle for independence from Spain, the rise of Dutch naval power, and the establishment of the Dutch East India Company. The narrative explores the economic and cultural achievements of the time, from the flourishing of Dutch painting (with artists like Rembrandt and Vermeer) to the development of modern banking and stock markets. By analyzing the political, social, and economic factors that contributed to the success of the Dutch Republic, the book highlights how the Dutch Golden Age influenced European and global history, and how its legacy continues to resonate today. |
