Probably not in the Dutch republic (and even in general in Europe) governments did have significant control of the economy, through mercantilist regulation, monopolies and chartered companies (you required a government charter for a establish a joint stock company). The you had the Dutch Easy India company (and later the English East Company) which was more or less controlled by the state and had a monopoly on international trade.

Governments back then were remarkably interventionist and even kind of semi state capitalist even by modern standards.
