The Dutch Invented the Stock Market: Amsterdam 1602

5 min•10 maj 2026

In 1602, the Dutch East India Company (VOC) launched the world's first stock exchange in Amsterdam, transforming finance forever. This episode traces how VOC shares were traded on the Beurs van Hendrick de Keyser, the rise of speculation, the role of Isaac le Maire in the first bear raid, and how the Dutch created financial instruments like futures and options. We explore the chaotic trading floor, the East India House, and how this innovation funded the Dutch Golden Age—while also planting seeds for modern capitalism's excesses. A story of ambition, risk, and the birth of global finance.
