as posted by the channelCited as one of the most liberal places on earth, Amsterdam has been instrumental in cultivating the ideas and conditions from which the ideal of liberalism grew. Shorto, a longtime resident of the city and author of a study of the Dutch founding of Manhattan, chronicles Amsterdam's history as a place literally built on cooperation and tolerance, and one that hosted religious dissidents as well as serving as the headquarters for early multinationals, such as the East India Company.
