that's a very interesting point you bring up.
the success of anything Dutch was consistently fed by the dependance of other nations..
ah, it's early here...
:Dwhat i am trying to say is: NL has always been a trading nation as we do not have valuable natural resources such as oil, gold etc.
perhaps this international - extroverted - attitude of the Dutch is key here.
for instance:
The Dutch Dept. for Economic Affairs would (sometimes heavily IMHO) finance dj's to be able to spin tables abroad, as they saw the Dutch successes in the dance/house/techno scene as a valuable trading good..perhaps that's even more important then the direct financing of artists to create work within NL..
but ofcourse one cannot exist without the other..
