Some group of economists have projected that both the U.S and parts of Europe could slip into a recession for a portion of 2023. A global recession, define as a contraction in annual global per capita income, is more rare because china and emerging markets often grow faster than more developed economies. Essentially the world economy is considered to be in recession if economic growth falls behind population growth.

I love this video with beautiful images of the Netherlands. There are a few discrepancies in the video though. there are almost 18 million Dutch, The "Nieuwe Waterweg" was opened in 1872. This canal connected Rotterdam directly to the North Sea. The Power of the Dutch golden Age, from about 1588 to 1672, with its global maritime supremacy was mostly concentrated in Amsterdam. Rotterdam was pretty insignificant at that time. The economical power of Rotterdam , to what it is today, started really after the opening of the "Nieuwe Waterweg".

I agree there are discrepancies in the video. However he was correct about the canal during Wiliam IV (count of holland and NOT king) who lived around 1300-1350. To evade toll at the city of Schiedam, they dug a canal from the 'Schie' river to the 'Rotte' river. Therefor this canal is known as the 'Rotterdamse schie'. Only much later they created the 'Nieuwe Waterweg' canal (1872) which was needed to let the Rotterdam harbor grow into a gigantic port. Before the 19th century, Rotterdam was only a small port city between other port cities (Schiedam, Delft/Delfshaven, Dordrecht,.....).

Beiden indirecte sloofjes van de VS... Oppervlakkig zijn is makkelijker vol te houden, denk ik dan (vandaar dat de VS ooit eens zo zwaar heeft ingezet op entertainment en het slachtbad van de social media nu). NL is ook al eeuwen een drijvende motor van de wereldorde op de achtergrond. De beurs hebben we zo'n beetje uitgevonden, net als het kapitalisme wat erbij hoort. De wereld leegroven en er schatrijk mee worden en vervolgens gigantische bedrijven bevoordelen met achterdeurtjes. De industriëlen en het koningshuis verdeelden de koek graag... (bilderberg, shell, unilever - vooral Bernhard is er groot - en klein mee geworden). Ik snap het wel, maar de trots mag best wat gepaster - we kunnen blij zijn met de techniek, maar de reden dat uitgerekend ons kikkerlandje in zo veel gebieden uitblinkt, is niet altijd even rooskleurig. Net als de VS leunen we ook al 100 jaar op geïmporteerde arbeid middels immigratie, nadat de slavernij aanwas/goedkope arbeid op een laag pitje kwam te staan: 100 jaar geleden waren er zo'n 10 miljoen Nederlanders minder. Als je dat dan vergelijkt met bijvoorbeeld België... Ook allemaal van die dingen die de meeste mensen niet kan interesseren. Maar goed. Beter wat in de melk te brokkelen hebben, dan niets.

The name veldhoven comes from "field farm", thats how it started. We are so lucky some cast of division from Philips (only 40 guys at the start in the 80s) grew to become this critical player asml. Needless to say the village and neighbour eindhoven (end farm) are growing out of their seams with the spectacular growth of asml (and its 3000+ local suppliers).

@@sebkeccu4546 Kinda agree on this. I'm from the Netherlands and as a child being able to also speak english while having dutch parents was just a normal thing. Most of our cartoons and movies for kids where never dubbed and always just in English. But only as an adult when starting to travel to different countries I was so surprised how bad people are at speaking English. It really took me a while to realize this is really just a dutch thing. I don't know why but English just came as a second language when growing up and never really stood still by the fact that this is actually weird. We were always told as kids that this is important because we are a small country and that we need to be able to work on a global scale. I never realized this is really a dutch thing, but I'm kind of happy I grew up with this the world is your playground mentality. Do your business everywhere but always bring home the goods is what we get fed here from a very early age. Unfortunately I must say that with these newer generations this mindset is getting a bit lost now. For example nowadays all movies and cartoons are dubbed in dutch and in schools they teach allot less about that international mindset. Also many dutch politicians nowadays look at other countries as an example and also inhibit their us first practices, losing some of our dutch culture in the process. We were never this nationalists type of country and we were always open to explore. But sadly the nationalist mentality is growing here and there's even people who want the Netherlands out of the EU and separate ourselves as a country from the world. They think that things will go better this way but they don't realize that The Netherlands has always been a world hub and that's actually what made is do so well.

Veldhoven is next door to Eindhoven, home town of Philips Company. Eindhoven didn't exist as a city until Philips started producing lightbulbs and expanded into way too many industries to mention. What is now called Eindhoven used to be a group of small villages like Strijp, Gestel, Tongelre and Acht, to name a few. ASML and a few other companies (Origin if my memory serves me well) were spin-off's of Philips, many of whom stayed geographically close to their mother-ship. Philips was considered one of the best employers in the Netherlands for many years, not in the least for their huge contribution to the welfare of their employees in the form of housing, schools, cultural centres and health care facilities. Not to mention Frits Philip's pride and joy PSV (Philips Sport Vereniging), which is most known for their soccer club. Their accounting system was top-notch, as well their inhouse schooling facilities. Many companies were started by ex-Philips employees, contributing to the growth of the formerly poor area.

The Netherlands controls the World because it makes the best semi-conductor manufacturing machinery. It chooses who it sells the machines to. Their silicone chip production machines are beyond what anyone else can produce - they have a World Monopoly on the machines that make what the World runs on. Little known fact. I know because my kid is an expert on the installation of those machines. Those machines are the new weapons of global power - you can either manufacture chips or you can't - the Netherlands decides which category you fall into.

Their only motivation is to make a profit. It's as simple as that. Dutch popular culture doesn't really like ideological (or religious) stuff or geopolitical power-seeking. This attitude may be hard to understand for people in other parts of the world. The attitude of these Dutch businessmen is very much in line with contemporary Dutch popular culture. They will trade with anyone (the US, China, Russia) if the trade is profitable.

There is still a huge shortage of qualified Engineers in the region around Veldhoven.
