>Dutch merchants routinely bought up grain harvests in the Baltic area and grape harvests in France, important in the wine trade, before they were harvested >The Dutch Republic was a master of banking, often compared to with Florence during the 14th century.

>A technological revolution in shipbuilding led to a competitive advantage in shipping that helped the young Republic become the dominant trade power by the mid-17th century. In 1670, the Dutch merchant marine totalled 568,000 tons of shipping—about half the European total.The Dutch built up by far the largest merchant fleet in the world. >The ship building district of Zaan, near Amsterdam, became the first industrialized area in the world,[28] with around 900 industrial windmills at the end of the 17th century, but there were industrialized towns and cities on a smaller scale also.
