How a Ledger Became a Central Bank: A Monetary History of the Bank of Amsterdam by Stephen Quinn & William Roberds (2023)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1108706150/
From the description
Before the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England, the Bank of Amsterdam (‘Bank’) was a dominant central bank with a global impact on money and credit. How a Ledger Became a Central Bank draws on extensive archival data and rich secondary literature, to offer a new and detailed portrait of this historically significant institution. It describes how the Bank struggled to manage its money before hitting a modern solution: fiat money in combination with a repurchase facility and discretionary open market operations. It describes techniques the Bank used to monitor and stabilize money stock, and how foreign sovereigns could exploit the liquidity of the Bank for state finance. Closing with a discussion of commonalities of the Bank of Amsterdam with later central banks, including the Federal Reserve, this book has generated a great deal of excitement among scholars of central banking and

We will discuss this book across three sessions.
- 2026-09-14 — Discussion Session 1 (Chapters 1–3) (Recording)
During the off week, we discuss the 2023 BIS Working Paper 1065 “The Bank of Amsterdam and the limits of fiat money,” by Wilko Bolt, Jon Frost, Hyun Song Shin and Peter Wierts
https://www.bis.org/publications/working-paper-1065-bank-amsterdam-and-limits-fiat-money
From the description:
Central banks can operate with negative equity, and many have done so in history without undermining trust in fiat money. However, there are limits. How negative can central bank equity be before fiat money loses credibility? We address this question using a global game approach motivated by the fall of the Bank of Amsterdam (1609–1820). We solve for the unique break point where negative equity and asset illiquidity render fiat money worthless. We draw lessons on the role of fiscal support and central bank capital in sustaining trust in fiat money.
