The Moneyball Method S1E39: A History of Capital and Investment — The 1600s

This is Mark Shupe, speaking on the 39th episode of The Moneyball Method Podcast. Today I want to talk to you about “A History of Capital and Investment — The 1600s”. We will look into the unsung hero of 16th century capitalism — Adriaen van der Donck, the development of Jamestown, the English, French and Dutch settlements in the American colonies, the French monarchy’s attempt to corner the fur trade in Quebec, the London merchant adventures in Massachusetts and the Dutch West India Company’s investment in the island called Manhattan.

For further information, please read my book The Moneyball Method: A Middle-Class Manifesto for Objective Investing, now out on Kindle.
