About the book

Mark is a portrait of the prime minister, and thus also a portrait of the Netherlands, 'that incredibly cool country', at the beginning of the twenty-first century.

Excerpt from the podcast

'Mark Rutte is not very good at the identity politics at play these days. But maybe people are also getting very tired of it. Of course it is an emancipation process, but I think it will be over in five years. Then you won't hear about black pete anymore. You can already see the first splits off. That is also very Dutch.'
