How did stock exchanges develop in Amsterdam?

In Amsterdam there came to be the trading in stocks and company shares. This was not public or better said, shares of government loans, instead it consisted in trading the shares of large companies. This was to a large part based on speculation and not for investment as it's known today. However, this was the beginning of this. By the end of the 17th century the techniques of speculation began to develop into many forms of trading that is seen today. In London there was also an exchange, however, it was not until after 1670 that modern types of trading began. And, it was not widespread nor given a large amount of importance. Not long, however, did trading "stocks" develop rapidly. Amsterdam and London predominated over smaller exchanges that developed in Europe.

What is the meaning of coldplay's song Amsterdam?

Amsterdam, to me is a song about being on the tipping of ones life. It conveys how someone wants to express their inner feelings to the person they love, but lost throughout life. The phrase "it's no cause for concern" suggests that the protagonist in the songs story is covering his/her true self, which for them, is actually worsening their state.

The song also flashes imagery of suicide with the singer being "tied to a noose", but being relieved of the burden with the loved one "cutting them loose". This suggests that maybe this person was in a happier place ever since this certain person entered his/her life. However, with the general feeling of the song, it's slightly implied that maybe the protagonist is alone again with the song opening with "my star is fading".

This is a song about conflict between emotion and reality, with both eating away at the person in the song. On the other hand, we do see a glimmer of hope when in the chorus, the lyrics mention that "time is on your side" suggesting that everyone, even the brokenhearted or grieving have a chance to change for the better.

It's a mixed bag of interpretations, but make what you will of it.
