Amsterdam

A History of the World's Most Liberal City

by

  • 10 Want to read

As the subtitle says, this is a history of the world's most liberal city. To put it more to the point, it is about the world's most liberal capitalist city, a city that has been so from its early beginnings. The author takes us through the length of its history in a light breezy style that he uses to turn a heavy subject into easy, enjoyable, rewarding reading.
