There were two things that caught my eye in this article:

1. "The Netherlands seems to be undergoing a sort of industrial revolution in reverse, with jobs moving from factories to homes."

2. "Almost 70% of Dutch business owners were exclusively self-employed in 2008."

You can really see that this freelance society we live in is very much like what Alvin Toffler was talking about in 1980 with his book The Third Wave:
