The Dutch Invention of the Stock Market: Amsterdam's Beurs

7 min•11 juni 2026

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how the Dutch Republic invented the world's first formal stock market at the Amsterdam Beurs in the early 1600s. They trace the origins of modern finance through the VOC's need for capital, the rise of stockbrokers, and the first recorded short sale by Isaac le Maire. The conversation covers the beurspennings, the role of the Wisselbank, and how Amsterdam's financial innovations—from futures trading to dividend payments—shaped global capitalism. Along the way, they touch on the Dutch East India Company's monopoly, the speculative frenzy around VOC shares, and the surprising legacy of the beurs building itself.
