Oh, I thought this was an article dealing with Sweden’s state sponsored Eugenic program.

Never mind.
>>On public services the Nordics have been similarly pragmatic. So long as public services work, they do not mind who provides them.<<
A gilt cage is still a cage. It sounds like you can be comfortably numb for all your life in these countries. If you want to really succeed, you have to choose your parents well.
Until 2008, you could succeed in the USA with average talent and intelligence but a lot of drive. Now, I don’t think so.
Yet he ignored the 600 pound Gorilla in the room, the Nords fund their socialism experiment with the North Sea Oil fields and the Sweeds with chocolate...
Taxation in Norway is extreme and the social bennies are great, till the oil runs out. But the cost of living is insane, a hotdog in a gas station runs 6 bucks, and it is the cheapest food in town.
Norway is a great socialist experiment, till they run out of oil. Then like all socialistic schemes, when the money runs out, it will inevitably collapse destroying the Society.
I have spent some time in Norway, love it and the people. Just get tired of all the “Obama is going to teach you how to be good socialists” cocktail talk.
To ignore the vast funds pouring into Norway from the State run North Seal Oil sales to make socialism look good is duplicitous at best.
Not only that, but the Nordic peoples may well have been the progenitors of ancient Greek civilization. Felice Vinci, in his seminal and well researched “The Baltic Origins of Homer’s Epic Tales”, hypothesizes that the scene of Homer’s “Iliad” and “Odyssey” transpired in the Baltic Sea before the proto-Vikings pulled up stakes due to a global cooling period that rendered their lands uninhabitable. They then invaded the Middle East by two routes- overland via the Volga and Dneiper rivers and by sea in their long boats which were recorded by the ancient Egyptians as the “Peoples of the Sea”, an enigmatic and massive history changing migration for which archaeologists have few explanations for. The book is a fascinating read and anyone of Scandinavian descent will have their notion of “roots” re-engineered” into the position of being the wellsprings of Western Civilization. More here:

Sweden and Finland does not have oil. Denmark has some natural gas resources, but negligeble compared to Norway.
And, the Economist talks about how Sweden has learnt from “some” of its socialistic mistakes.
Well okay then, where are the Nordic supermodels?
Article fails to discuss, or ignores for politically correct reasons, the violent crime epidemic in Nordic countries, i.e. Sweden.
Sweden’s rapes are double Britains and four times France’s or Germany’s.
Sweden is now experiencing the results of multiculturalism and and its facilitating of Islamization.
“According to a new study from the Crime Prevention Council, Brå, it is four times more likely that a known rapist is born abroad, compared to persons born in Sweden. Resident aliens from Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia dominate the group of rape suspects. According to these statistics, almost half of all perpetrators are immigrants.
...statistics from Swedens National Council for Crime Prevention (Brottsförebyggande rådet) show that the number of reported paedophile rapes against children is on the rise. The figures have nearly doubled in the last ten years: 467 rapes against children under the age of 15 were reported in 2004 compared with 258 in 1995.
According to a new study from the Crime Prevention Council, Brå, it is four times more likely that a known rapist is born abroad, compared to persons born in Sweden. Resident aliens from Islamic republics of Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia dominate the group of rape suspects.
1) 2001: According to these statistics, almost half of all perpetrators are immigrants.
2) In Norway and Denmark, we know that non-Western immigrants, which frequently means Muslims, are grossly overrepresented on rape statistics.
3) The numbers in Denmark were the same (2001), and even higher in the city of Copenhagen with three out of four rape charges.
3) In 2011 the rape statistics had skyrocketed and were now fully dominated by immigrants, mainly Muslims. Authorities in Oslo, Norway, reported that immigrants were responsible for 100% of all rapes in the capital, while 90% of these were committed by Muslim immigrants.
Sweden has a larger immigrant, including Muslim, population than any other country in northern Europe. The numbers there are likely to be at least as bad as with its Scandinavian neighbors.

Yeah, not good news on that front. Maybe Sweden will wise up in that area too...hopefully before it’s too late.
Sweden has a population just a bit greater than Long Island, New York, and Norway about half that. To compare the United States, with it’s ethnically diverse population of 310 million, vastly larger physical size and economy, with a couple of largely racially homogeneous and sparsely habited forested strips of land, with comparatively miniscule centrally planned economies is laughable on the face of it.
Or the hordes of Muslim gang-rapists and other violent criminals making life miserable in their big cities. Or the police forces' seeming inability to arrest anyone darker than your average Viking? OK, OK, they seem to be recovering some economic common sense. But in every other regard, Scandinavians are so politically correct and far left they make Barbara Streisand look like Maggie Thatcher
What the Swedes and Norwegians need is for some hardheaded Swedish Americans and Norwegian Americans to hightail it back there and set a few things straight. On the way, they might drop off a few more Euro-Americans to do the same for Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal.
Before we all go Viking-gaga, let's stop and remember that these are the people that gave the Soetoro Kid the Nobel Peace Prize when he had been in office about 16 minutes, and think Al Gore is a great scientist. Steady men. Lutefisk poisoning can sneak up on anyone.
Carefully omitting the gorilla is a calculated lie. Shame on them. No integrity these days. Why would I buy a magazine that that reports what they think I need to hear, instead of simply reporting what IS.
Economist my eye, more like Anti-Economist.
Looks like Finland too :(
Muslim Immigration Transforms Finland

Norway is a great socialist experiment, till they run out of oil.
................
most obviously through Norways $600 billion sovereign-wealth fund...
Norway is still pumping money into that fund which will be around producing income for that small country long after the oil is gone.
