THE LEADING FINANCIAL DYNASTIES OF THE NETHERLANDS AND THEIR ROLE IN THE EMERGENCE AND DEVELOPMENT OF CAPITALISM

The article looks at the history and the role of families of financiers in the Netherlands in the XV-XX centuries. Financial dynasties had an important role in the early development of capitalism and the creation of Dutch Golden Age. I analyze the movement of the capitals from the Iberian Peninsula to the Netherlands and from the Netherlands to England. Several major international banks were started by financiers from the Netherlands. The article emphases the history of less known families of the financiers (Bischoffsheim, Borski, Van Lanschot, Van Loon, Goldsmid, Clifford, Cohan, Lopes Suasso, Mocatta, Pereire, de Pinto, Pierson, Raphael, Salomon, Sillem, Hope and others). Some of these families retain an important role in the world of finance until the present. The information contained in the article shows also the close family connection between the mentioned families of financiers.
