Description

The Dutch, in rebellion against Spanish rule, created in only a few generations a powerful world empire, its culture admired throughout the West; yet the Dutch made themselves up as they went along. Schama’s examination of manners, morals, and attitudes towards money are enlivened with anecdotes and interesting aspects of social history.
