In the first half of the seventeenth century the Dutch Republic emerged as one of Europe's leading maritime powers.

Building on earlier scholarship and extensive new evidence it tackles two main issues: the effect of political revolution on property rights and public finance, and the ability of the nation to renegotiate issues of taxation and government borrowing in changing political circumstances.
