From this week's Newsweek (of which more than half of the pages are devoted to design):
"Why the Dutch rule. The Netherlands rocks the design world, thanks both to lavish government support - $40 million a year - and to necessary inventiveness. 'They laid down a grid of irrigation ditches on a swamp' says Netherlands Architecture Institue head Aaron Betsky, 'then turned that into a neat orderly country'".
I was wondering - every western country I know of has some sort of funding for the creative arts, but is there a special program for design in Netherland? $40 million sounds like a lot.
