Excellant historical fiction about the beginnings of stock market in 17th century Amsterdam. Amsterdam was the haven of Spanish and Portuguese Jews who fled the inquisition. This book shows their survival by honing their mercantile skills. I'm not too knowledgeable about how the stock market works, but I found this book fascinating.
