International Government Finance and the Amsterdam Capital Market, 1740–1815

<p>During the eighteenth century European governments began systematically using an international credit structure whose centre was the Amsterdam capital market. This book reconstructs that system and surveys its principal effects on the European and especially the Dutch economies. Eighteenth-century states borrowed chiefly to finance wars and, increasingly toward the century's end, debts from earlier wars. Military and naval spending and debt service together consumed up to eighty percent of peacetime revenues and more in war. Borrowing on international markets stabilised previously disruptive deficit financing techniques and moderated the economic consequences of sharply irregular war spending. This development however, eased the problems of war-making more than it developed national economies or enhanced prosperity. The Dutch, heretofore seen as having squandered the advantage of cheap credit, actually faced the difficult problem of finding productive uses for their savings at satisfactory returns.</p>

<p>How was it possible that such a magnificent creation as a child could slip through the cracks of a modern society time and again, until there was no clear sign pointing to the place he came from? How was it possible there could be no one to care enough to watch over him along the way, no one to come after him when he was lost, to protect him from whatever it was that brought him to my doorstep? These questions have weighed on Dean Evelyn Hartin in the fourteen years since she adopted her son Eric off the streets. Now Eric lies in a near-comatose state, and the answers continue to elude her. Eric is searching for his past, too; in his hospital room, he is dreaming-and those dreams are manifesting in strange and tangible ways in the lives of all who know him. What secrets are locked in Eric Hartin's mind? What happens when those secrets start changing the world?</p>
