Discours d'un bon Hollandois a ses compatriotes, Sur différents objets intéressants
This 1778 book, "Discours d'un bon Hollandois a ses compatriotes, Sur différents objets intéressants" ["Discourse of a Good Dutchman to his Compatriots, on Different Subjects of Interest"], by Isaac de Pinto, argues for Dutch solidarity with Britain during the American Revolutionary War. De Pinto, a wealthy Dutch Jew, economist, and director of the Dutch East India Company, presents an economic argument against the American Revolution, fearing the potential disruption to colonial trade and the established political order. This work reflects the complex political and economic climate of the time and De Pinto's unique perspective as a prominent Jewish figure in 18th-century Europe.
