Description
Liberals all over the world invoke Scandinavia as a promised land of equality, whilst most conservatives fear it as a hotbed of liberty-threatening socialism. However the left and right can on a regular basis agree on one thing: that the Nordic system is inconceivable to replicate in other places. The USA and UK are too big, or too individualistic, or too . . . something.
In Viking Economics—now with a new afterword by the writer—George Lakey dispels these myths. He explores the inner-workings of the Nordic economies that boast the world’s happiest, most productive workers, and explains how, if we will be able to enact one of the most changes the Scandinavians fought for surprisingly recently, we, too, can embrace equality in our economic policy.
