Netherlands love to privatise with guardrails. Give the liability to private companies but micro-manage them. It’s the same for roads, healthcare, etc.
Does it work well?
Genuinely wondering.
Do the dutch people think it works well?
Yeah, arguably it does work pretty well, as the country is top of the class on many aspects but it’s definitely one of the most capitalistic countries in Europe and you feel it with certain things.
