Podcast Amsterdam Trading Culture- From the Golden Age to Now ⸱ 16-05-2025

The Exchange Bank and the origins of our financial system

In this sixth episode of Amsterdam Trading Culture, we dive into the origins of the modern financial system. The focus is on the Amsterdam Exchange Bank: a revolutionary institution founded in 1609 and followed worldwide. What made this bank so special? And what lessons can we still learn today from the way Amsterdam organised its financial household back then? Host Hidde Bruinsma talks to economist Marius van Nieuwkerk and banking and finance specialist Charles Destrée about the parallels between then and now – from tulip mania to crypto bubble.
