The launch of the Dutch East India Company in 1602 initiated Amsterdam's transformation from a regional market town into a dominant financial center. The Company introduced easily transferable shares, and within days buyers had begun to trade them. Soon the public was engaging in a variety of complex transactions, including forwards, futures, options, and bear raids, and by 1680 the techniques deployed in the Amsterdam market were as sophisticated as any we practice today.

Lodewijk Petram's eye-opening history demystifies financial instruments by linking today's products to yesterday's innovations, tying the market's operation to the behavior of individuals and the workings of the world around them. Traveling back to seventeenth-century Amsterdam, Petram visits the harbor and other places where merchants met to strike deals. He bears witness to the goings-on at a notary's office and sits in on the consequential proceedings of a courtroom. He describes in detail the main players, investors, shady characters, speculators, and domestic servants and other ordinary folk, who all played a role in the development of the market and its crises. His history clarifies concerns that investors still struggle with today, such as fraud, the value of information, trust and the place of honor, managing diverging expectations, and balancing risk, and does so in a way that is vivid, relatable, and critical to understanding our contemporary financial predicament.

Works great
Size: 8.8" x 9.3" x 1.2"
This fit perfectly in my 2017 Acura MDX. I can change my own filter in less than 5 minutes and it costs much less than the OEM. The filters lasted me about a year before I needed a new one.

Great product !!!
Size: 8.8" x 9.3" x 1.2"
The product was in great shape when delivered. Even though the package was thin as it is the delivery was made with card and all was well with product. The instructions were good to use and change in my car. Also it showed the make of vehicle so I won’t be confused at all. Overall it was a great buy

Fits my Accord perfectly!
Size: 8.8" x 9.3" x 1.2"
Fits my 2008 Accord perfectly and feels just as sturdy as the OEM I used before, which cost nearly twice as much. Plus, it includes activated carbon, something the OEM didn’t have.
