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.Binding Type: Hardcover

This can opener works, for a much more budget friendly option
Color: Black
This can opener works just as good as the higher priced name brand products, it opens all the cans that they can as well and the convenient knife sharpener on the back is very handy. There’s nothing like trying to cut up some food and have to use a dull knife just slide it through the sharpener on the back a couple times rinse it off and you’re ready to go.

Works well, no complaints
Color: Black
Works great for the price. Super easy to use — just press down and it does the job. I like the magnetic lid holder, makes it less messy. Not the most powerful out there, but for everyday cans it’s perfectly fine. Good value overall.
