Colonial Trade of The Netherlands

In this last lecture of the series on Dutch International Relations we look into the history of colonial trade. 
Generally in this series we on the one hand look at the Dutch spirit of commerce, and on the other hand at moral issues that affect the Dutch when they cross the border. Do the salesman and the vicar go hand in hand or do their morals disappear when they smell money?
