5 min30 juli 2026

Om avsnittet

In 1602, the Dutch East India Company (VOC) launched the world's first initial public offering, creating shares that could be traded on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange. This episode explores how the VOC’s need for massive capital led to the invention of modern corporate finance, complete with dividends, speculation, and the first recorded short seller, Isaac le Maire. Join Lucas and Luna as they trace the birth of the stock market, the role of the Amsterdam Beurs, and the innovative financial tools that fueled the Dutch Golden Age. From the Heeren XVII to the Wisselbank, discover how a small republic revolutionized global capitalism.
