Preferred term

Dutch Republic  

Definition(s)

  • From the late 16th to the late 18th century, the United Provinces of the Netherlands, measured by libertarian standards, had perhaps the best government in Europe. Although today we can easily find much to criticize about the Dutch Republic, it remains a crucial early experiment in toleration, limited government, and commercial capitalism.The results were stunning: Even contemporaries noted the Dutch Republic's astonishing wealth and military power.
