Risk sharing with investors predates the VOC by a few centuries if not millennia. iirc Hansa merchants invested in the modern sense and the Code of Hammurabi, written around 1700 BCE, provides a legal framework to things that could be construed as invested. The Italian republics, China, etc. probably have more of the same. |
