Book Reviews Dyman Associates Publishing Inc: The World's First Stock Exchange - 1 views
-
Aldrey Dyman on 13 Jun 14In his famous book Confusión de confusions Joseph Penso de la Vega wrote: "If one were to lead a stranger through the streets of Amsterdam and ask him where he was, he would answer 'among speculators,' for there is no corner where one does not talk shares." And, Lodewijk Petram adds, "the people of Amsterdam were talking about options, too, and forward selling, quotations and prices, risk and speculation-all relating to the trade in the shares of the Dutch East India Company (the Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie, VOC), which had been established in 1602. Fortunes were made and lost, and the men who engaged in this trade were wholly in thrall to it." Petram did extensive archival research, including mining the records of active traders, to shed new light on de la Vega's account of the Amsterdam stock market. The Dutch edition of his book appeared in 2011. Columbia Business School Publishing/Columbia University Press has just released the English edition, The World's First Stock Exchange, skillfully translated by Lynne Richards. It's an engrossing tale.

Book Reviews Dyman Associates Publishing Inc: Questions are the key to change - 1 views
-
It's neither Big Data nor innovation, despite all the business books and management gurus touting the disruptive potential of each. It's the simple question, right there on the tip of your tongue. A new book demonstrates just how far an inquisitive mind can take you. Change usually starts with a question. Inquiry has toppled monarchs and empires throughout history. It's the basis of one of the earliest forms of education - the Socratic Method - used to train young minds in the rigours of critical thinking. Yet, it's a mostly ignored business tool, overlooked by executives trained in the MBA arts that "tend to place more value on answers, pronouncements, and promises," according to author Warren Berger. Questions also overturn business empires.
