Review
"'A considerable scholarly achievement.' Steven Shapin, London Review of Books 'Drawing on nearly twenty years of research, Matters of Exchange is a dense, scholarly, fascinating book, packed with information and full of marvellous stories about cultural exchange between different cultures, and containing at its heart an important but complicated argument about the roots of scientific objectivity and the rise of the global trade. It is a huge, if slightly daunting achievement, but it will undoubtedly become a standard work for anyone interested in the Dutch Golden Age.' Jerry Brotton, BBC History Magazine"
Book Description
In this pathbreaking book, a leading historian of science and medicine presents convincing evidence that Dutch commerce—not religion—inspired the rise of science in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Harold J. Cook taps vast archival evidence to show how commerce in the Dutch Golden Age changed citizens’ values and triggered the Scientific Revolution.
