The Dutch East India Company monopolized the spice trade, made ties with local rulers, and opened trade with China. It did not help spread Christianity to the East.
The objection that the iconoclasts had to a painting such as this one is that the image promotes worship of Mary over God.
Based on the image, it would seem that Mary is far more important in Christian religion according to what she looks like, and where she is sitting, and that baby Jesus is not as relevant as she is. Iconoclasts were a group of people who wanted to destroy religious icons anyways.
Explanation:
Labor markets in capitalist economies are fundamentally tilted against individual workers’ ability to bargain effectively with employers. Policy does not have to be rigged for employers to give them particular clout in labor markets; instead, the very nature of these labor markets gives them clout. In the past, when economic growth was broadly shared across the population, it was because policymakers understood this basic asymmetry and used policy levers to bolster the leverage and bargaining power of workers. Conversely, recent decades’ rise of inequality and anemic wage growth has resulted from a stripping away of these policy bulwarks to workers’ labor market power.
