It is not only that nearly half her land is below sea level. Nor is it that she is one of the world's most crowded lands; her more than 13 million peop…le create a population density of about 1000 per square mile. Nor is it that half her national income is nation could achieve peace and prosperity with so little natural resources. is dependent upon world trade. Nor is it that so small a What is most unusual is that the Netherlands has made such a rapid and total adjustment to the demands of modern technological society. In no small measure this was achieved by tion, control and development. Its postwar history tells how a determined by a deliberate policy of planning, direc- people under intelligent government leadership rose from a broken econ- omy to a level of economic and social development that places their society among the most modern in the world. The Netherlands is a success story that in some measure has been overlooked by a wider world. This will be an attempt to record her story, touching upon some of the causes and results of this success. The Netherlands is undoubtedly one of the most planning conscious of modern nations. This is not to say that the Dutch government or its people have any concept comparable to the totality of Soviet Five Year Plans. It might be more accurate to see Dutch planning as similar to America's Tennessee Valley Authority project direction and economic contribution by the government, participation and cooperation by the people involved. Dutch action was multiple and continuous a series of TVAs not a solitary accident. Moreover, Dutch planning represents a more flexible form of social effort than what one usually conceives planning to be. The Dutch government suggests lines of approach react. Frequently interest groups and organizations initiate programs and ach and the people concerned government plans are always open to changes resulting from public pressures. The author surveys the governmental structure, the economic and social policies, and the ecological controls of post war Netherlands to illustrate the role that planning and control have played in the nation's economic well-being. Though accentuating recent years, there is sufficient historic perspective to support his thesis that "Force of Order and Methods" government responsibility and social discipline may be a necessity if any modern society is to maintain the individual freedoms and economic security of its members. Condition : very good copy. ISBN 9789024718498. Keywords : SOCIOLOGY.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Netherlands is an unusual nation in many ways. It is not only that nearly half her land is below sea level. Nor is it that she is one of the world's most crowded lands; her more than 13 million people create a population density of about 1000 per… square mile. Nor is it that half her national income is dependent upon world trade. Nor is it that so small a nation could achieve peace and prosperity with so little natural resources. What is most unusual is that the Netherlands has made such a rapid and total adjustment to the demands of modern technological society. In no small measure this was achieved by a deliberate policy of planning, direction, control and development. Its postwar history tells how a determined people under intelligent govern ment leadership rose from a broken economy to a level of economic and social development that places their society among the most modern in the world. The Netherlands is a success stor} that in some measure has been overlooked by a wider world. This will be an attempt to record her story, touching upon some of the causes and results of this success. The Netherlands is undoubtedly one of the most planning conscious of modern nations. This is not to say that the Dutch government or its people have any concept comparable to the totality of Soviet Five Year It might be more accurate to see Dutch planning as similar to Plans.
