[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“The worst economic system available, except for every other economic system ever devised”. [/quote]

This. It sucks sometimes - but it’s still better than literally everything else. [/quote]

The Nordic System- capitalism paired with a welfare state and heavy regulation- seems to have resulted in better outcomes by just about every measure than pure capitalism [/quote]

That’s all well and good when you have a monolithic society in terms of race, culture and ideology, and a Teutonic work ethic that necessitates discipline and preparation for survival of the long winters with a short growing season.

When you have a bunch of people who are all alike and have a societally ingrained predisposition to really hard work, it’s easy to understand how such nations made their respective systems work.

We don’t have a monoculture like the Scandinavians do. We’re composed of people from all over the world. And many of them are from places where the growing season is year-round and doesn’t require the advanced planning mentality of the high latitudes. Good luck using a Scandinavian economic model here. It won’t work. Americans are too different and divergent.  [/quote]
