Alphabet soup

Omschrijving

Does your job fall under a CAO? Are you insured for the WAO? And how is it going with your inburgering course? The abbreviations, acronyms, and strange sounding terms that abound in Dutch business, politics and society often baffle newcomers to the Netherlands. But never fear. Alphabet Soup decodes many of the most difficult and commonly used of these expressions. Adapted from the columns of the same name published in The Back Page of Het Financieele Dagblad, the book is a handy guide for getting to grips with what is going on in the Netherlands.
