Going to Amsterdam soon? I highly recommend visiting the Scheepvaartsmuseum (National Maritime Museum).
The history presented in the museum is a case study in entrepreneurship and adaptability how people in those times, despite all risk and challenges, tried to better their lives.
It's fascinating to learn how the Dutch dominated global trade for centuries, showcasing the logistical, technological & economic factors that shaped it.
The VOC, which you can consider one of the world's first 'multinational' corporation perfected everything from supply chain optimization, fiscal engineering and market expansion to unprecedented scale. From spice trade to whale hunting.
Really, really cool place. Go for the history, stay for the inspiration :)
