Going Dutch: The Dutch Welfare State

Posted by: Erwin in problems societyhollandExpats NetherlandsDutch peopleDutchCulture on

I just read this article in the NY Times.  It's about an American who lived in the Netherlands for one and a half year. First he grumbled about our tax rates, but after a while he also sees the advantages of the Dutch welfare state.

It's a very interesting article which tells a lot about the Dutch culture and the Dutch society.  I can surely recommend you to read it if you want to learn something about the Netherlands!

And for all people who are living in the Netherlands for a while,  I am interested if you recognise what  he is describing.
