Great course. Many thanks for offering this great opportunity. Funny to learn from an American that the Dutch were such early financial innovators. I did not know that.

This really was an eye-opener in terms of the amount of perspective it delivers which really intends to tell you what finance is about contrary to conventional wisdom.
