Zeeland as rich, rather than wealthy.” “Aren’t rich and wealthy the same thing?” asks Shirl. “The rich know how much money they have. The wealthy have so much, they’re never wholly sure.

Het is niet verrassend dat de inheemse bevolking van Hawaii en de Maori's niet staan de juichen als paleontologen hun vertellen dat hun voorouders de helft van all e vogelsoorten die op Hawaii en Nieuw-Zeeland waren geëvolueerd hebben uitgeroeid, en evenmin vinden de Indianen het leuk als archeologen hun vertellen dat de Anasazi delen van de zuidwestelijke Verenigde Staten hebben ontbost. De veronderstelde ontdekkingen van paleontologen en archeologen klinken voor sommige toehoorders als het zoveelste racistische voorwendsel dat blanken naar voor brengen om inheemse volkeren van hun grond te verjagen. Het lijkt alsof wetenschappers zeggen:'Jullie voorouders waren slechte rentmeesters van hun land, dus ze verdienden het om te worden verdreven.' Sommige blanke Amerikanen en Australiërs die verontwaardigd zijn over de betalingen door de overheid en het teruggeven van land an de Indianen en aboriginals, grijpen inderdaad naar zulke ontdekkingen om dat argument naar voor te brengen.

however, the round trip was a very long one (fourteen months was in fact well below the average). It was also hazardous: of twenty-two ships that set sail in 1598, only a dozen returned safely. For these reasons, it made sense for merchants to pool their resources. By 1600 there were around six fledgling East India companies operating out of the major Dutch ports. However, in each case the entities had a limited term that was specified in advance – usually the expected duration of a voyage – after which the capital was repaid to investors.10 This business model could not suffice to build the permanent bases and fortifications that were clearly necessary if the Portuguese and their Spanish allies* were to be supplanted. Actuated as much by strategic calculations as by the profit motive, the Dutch States-General, the parliament of the United Provinces, therefore proposed to merge the existing companies into a single entity. The result was the United East India Company – the Vereenigde Nederlandsche Geoctroyeerde Oostindische Compagnie (United Dutch Chartered East India Company, or VOC for short), formally chartered in 1602 to enjoy a monopoly on all Dutch trade east of the Cape of Good Hope and west of the Straits of Magellan.11 The structure of the VOC was novel in a number of respects. True, like its predecessors, it was supposed to last for a fixed period, in this case twenty-one years; indeed, Article 7 of its charter stated that investors would be entitled to withdraw their money at the end of just ten years, when the first general balance was drawn up. But the scale of the enterprise was unprecedented. Subscription to the Company’s capital was open to all residents of the United Provinces and the charter set no upper limit on how much might be raised. Merchants, artisans and even servants rushed to acquire shares; in Amsterdam alone there were 1,143 subscribers, only eighty of whom invested more than 10,000 guilders, and 445 of whom invested less than 1,000. The amount raised, 6.45 million guilders, made the VOC much the biggest corporation of the era. The capital of its English rival, the East India Company, founded two years earlier, was just £68,373 – around 820,000 guilders – shared between a mere 219 subscribers.12 Because the VOC was a government-sponsored enterprise, every effort was made to overcome the rivalry between the different provinces (and particularly between Holland, the richest province, and Zeeland). The capital of the Company was divided (albeit unequally) between six regional chambers (Amsterdam, Zeeland, Enkhuizen, Delft, Hoorn and Rotterdam). The seventy directors (bewindhebbers), who were each substantial investors, were also distributed between these chambers. One of their roles was to appoint seventeen people to act as the Heeren XVII – the Seventeen Lords – as a kind of company board. Although Amsterdam accounted for 57.4 per cent of the VOC’s total capital, it nominated only eight out of the Seventeen Lords.

In 1999, one attempt to ban readings of the Harry Potter books resulted in a civil student revolt. The fourth-graders in Zeeland, Michigan, who were subject to the ban wrote letters to the superintendent, asking him to repeal the restriction. When they learned how many other children from other locations shared their outrage, they formed Muggles for Harry Potter, an anticensorship group that almost immediately saw thousands of adolescent members grow from a grassroots campaign of Internet postings and paper petitions. The
