The advances after 1600 were not due to companies, nor thanks to them
. But I think we deviate.
It all started from a change in the EU legislation, and a tax imposed on companies only (which, then as today, tried to be on 0 profit - VAT tried to correct this, and did not succeeded as the companies lobbied the lawmakers).
