Viking Economics: How the Scandinavians Got It Right-and How

Viking Economics: How the Scandinavians Got It Right-and How We Can, Too

Liberals worldwide invoke Scandinavia as a promised land of equality, while most conservatives fear it as a hotbed of liberty-threatening socialism. But the left and right can usually agree on one thing: that the Nordic system is impossible to replicate elsewhere. The US and UK are too big, or too individualistic, or too . . . something.
Â
In Viking Economicsâ€”perhaps the most fun economics book youâ€™ve ever readâ€”George Lakey dispels these myths. He explores the inner-workings of the Nordic economies that boast the worldâ€™s happiest, most productive workers, and explains how, if we can enact some of the changes the Scandinavians fought for surprisingly recently, we, too, can embrace equality in our economic policy.
