Si usted quiere descubrir la fascinante historia de la Compañía holandesa de las Indias Orientales, siga leyendo...Las grandes compañías y corporaciones internacionales son una parte normal de nuestra vida cotidiana hoy en día. Para la mayoría, su inimaginable riqueza y poder, que rivalizan incluso con algunos de los países más pequeños del mundo, es algo que damos por sentado. Y las vemos como la encarnación viva del sistema capitalista, independientemente de si lo tomamos como un buen o mal presagio. Sin embargo, esto no siempre fue así. Durante la mayor parte de la historia, fueron los reyes y emperadores quienes ejercieron la mayor influencia, comandaron los ejércitos más grandes y tuvieron los mayores tesoros. Y todos ellos se reían de la idea de que algunos mercaderes se las arreglaban no solo para alcanzar su supremacía y riquezas, sino incluso para superarlas. Sin embargo, lo hicieron. Probablemente el mejor ejemplo de ese tipo de éxito fueron los comerciantes de la Compañía holandesa de las Indias Orientales del siglo XVI.Esta empresa reformó por sí sola la forma en que funcionaban los negocios, creando los cimientos de nuestro moderno mundo capitalista, con todas sus fortalezas y debilidades. Y a través de su comercio internacional, esta corporación llevó a nuestro mundo un paso más cerca del colonialismo del siglo XIX y la globalización del siglo XX. Incluso se las arregló para transformarse de un grupo de comerciantes a un imperio por derecho propio. En el momento de su disolución a finales del siglo XVIII, el mundo cambió irreversiblemente.En La Compañía Holandesa de las Indias Orientales: Una fascinante guía sobre la primera verdadera corporación multinacional y su impacto en la guerra de independencia de Holanda de España, descubrirá temas comoNacimiento de una corporaciónLa Compañía en ascensoLa caída del giganteEstructura y organización del VOC Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie (Compañía holandesa de las Indias Orientales)Lo bueno, lo malo del VOC Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie (Compañía holandesa de las Indias Orientales)¡Y mucho, mucho más!¡Obtenga este libro ahora para aprender más sobre la Compañía holandesa de las Indias Orientales!

Si quiere descubrir la cautivadora historia de la Carta Magna, siga leyendo...La Carta Magna es reconocida como uno de los documentos más importantes de la historia de la humanidad. Es la principal fuente de derecho constitucional en todo el mundo, y ofrece a las personas libertades y protección frente al poder arbitrario del gobierno.Sin embargo, es también un conjunto de promesas extraídas a mala fe de un rey no comprometido, y esas promesas lidiaban con los problemas de la aristocracia del siglo XIII. Entre asuntos ordinarios referidos a tasas, aduanas y leyes sobre la tierra, en el documento también encuentran su lugar las más importantes ideas revolucionarias capaces de cambiar el mundo.No obstante, en 1215 estas eran escasas, se mencionaban por aquí y por allá, y en la forma de altos ideales, más que en la de una ley.Aún hoy se citan algunas partes de la Carta Magna, como aquellas cláusulas que tratan sobre la justicia entre iguales, la protección ante encarcelamientos ilegales, la libertad de la Iglesia, etc. Sin embargo, en la época medieval, estas cláusulas no tenían el mismo significado que hoy en día. La Carta Magna se ha mostrado como un documento flexible con ideas que pueden acomodarse y transformarse para adaptarse a las necesidades de los nuevos tiempos.En Carta Magna: Una fascinante guía de la historia de la Carta Magna y su influencia en la Inglaterra medieval y el resto del mundo, descubrirá temas como:El rey JuanEl camino a RunnymedeLa Carta MagnaEl fracaso de la Carta MagnaLa GuerraEl Regente y el Final de la Primera Guerra de los BaronesEnrique III y la Carta MagnaLa Segunda Guerra de los Barones y Eduardo IEl Período Medieval Tardío y los TudorEl Renacimiento de la Carta MagnaEl Nuevo Mundo y la Carta Magna¡Adquiera este libro libro ahora y aprenda más sobre la Carta Magna!

Anyone who has seen his famous painting of the melting watches, The Persistence of Memory, knows that his paintings are as confusing as they are striking.Part 1 of this book covers the life of Walt Disney and here are some of the topics included: Humble Beginnings The First Step The Independent Move New Leaf PBrush with Bankruptcy Hello to Hollywood Famous in LA Foray into the Big Leagues The Birth of Mickey Mouse Disney Movie Magic Disney, the Megabrand And much, much more!Part 2 of this book covers the life of Salvador Dalí and here are some of the topics included: Prehistory to Picasso Growing Wings Rebellion Risen Star Fame and Eccentricity The Bathtub and the Window Flight Going Home Farewell to the Muse The Marquis' Last Drawing The Immortal Mustache And much, much more!So if you want to learn more about Walt Disney and Salvador Dalí, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button!
