The Embarrassment of Riches: An interpretation of Dutch culture in the Golden Age is a book by the historian Simon Schama. It was published in 1987, five years after the bicentenary of the Dutch recognition of the young United States. The book sold quite well and led to an immediate second printing only a few months after its release. It was initially well received and did so well, it was translated into Dutch and published there in 1988, where it was also well received. The book is credited today with giving new insights into the Dutch poldermodel system of governance.
