The Dutch East India Company
あらすじ・解説
If you want to discover the captivating history of the Dutch East India Company, then pay attention...
Huge international companies and corporations are a normal part of our everyday lives today. For most, their unimaginable wealth and power, rivaling even some of the smaller countries of the world, is something we take for granted. And we see them as the living embodiment of the capitalist system, regardless if we take it as a good or a bad omen. However, this wasn’t always the case.
For the majority of history, it was the kings and emperors who wielded the most influence, commanded the largest armies, and had the largest treasures. And all of them would laugh at the idea of some merchants managing to not only catch up to their supremacy and riches but even surpass them. Yet, they did.
Probably, the best example of that kind of success were the traders of the Dutch East India Company of the 16th century. This company single-handedly reformed the way businesses functioned, creating the foundation of our modern capitalist world, with all of its strengths and weaknesses.
Through its international trade, this corporation brought our world one step closer to the colonialism of the 19th century and the globalization of the 20th century. It managed to transform itself from a group of merchants to an empire in its own right. By the time of its disbandment in the late 18th century, the world was irreversibly changed.
