From the introduction: "Here is a book written in Spanish by a Portuguese Jew, published in Amsterdam, cast in dialogue form, embellished from start to finish with biblical, historical, and mythological allusions, and yet concerned primarily with the business of the stock exchange and issued as early as 1688."
- An entertaining and surprisingly modern account of the Dutch East Indian Company and the Amsterdam stock exchange in their heyday.
