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. In Viking Economics, 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 we, too, can embrace equality in our economic policy.
