This is a nice FAQ for those who want to visit The Netherlands or just want to have a good laugh. (And it is completely true)
http://www.ignatzmice.com/Adam/features/HTTTD.htm
Another good book about Holland is: The Undutchables: An Observation of the Netherlands, Its Culture and Its Inhabitants
This question is from the FAQ and is for Dutchbatter:

16. What is this "poldermodel" I keep hearing about?
At the time of this writing, the Hollandse economy is doing quite well. The Hollanders say that this is the result of extensive negotiating between parties like the unions, the employers and the government. They even have a name for this: The poldermodel. Foreigners are made to believe that this poldermodel is the key to a healthy economy and if others should follow this poldermodel, their economy's will also improve dramatically. This is of course utter nonsense. The Hollandse economy is completely dependent on the German economy. You can immediately see the problem, no Hollander will ever admit to this. So we have invented a Hollandse reason for our wealth. |
They use Holland instead of Dutch, if you want to know why read the first question of the FAQ.

Say, kokomonk, who are you ingame.
I'd love to show you why the Dutch should NOT be treated like everybody else.
