The author is a Kurdish-Iranian whose family immigrated to Sweden. He was able to break out of the welfare dependency that traps so many immigrants and become a scientist as well as an expert on public policy. Here he explains how the welfare state is hurting Sweden and the other Scandinavian countries.First he explains how the welfare state has become less popular in Scandinavia due to its shortcomings. Of the five Scandinavian countries, four now have center-right governments which have scaled back welfare benefits, cut taxes, and promoted individual responsibility. Only Sweden has a center-left government but it has kept the same welfare reforms enacted by previous center-right governments. In all these countries there is increased public opposition to immigration which strains the welfare state.He also explains how Sweden and the other Scandinavian countries were prosperous before their welfare states were established. The liberal American belief that welfare made Scandinavia prosperous is wrong; it was Scandinavian prosperity that made the welfare state possible. Before it became a welfare state in the 1960s, Sweden was prosperous, with low income inequality, and low crime. Now it has greater income inequality and higher crime, as immigrant groups like Muslims have remained dependent on welfare and resorted to criminal activity.He credits Swedish culture for creating the country's prosperity. It used to be a homogeneous country based on the Protestant work ethic, individual responsibility, and social cohesion which brought a high level of mutual trust. When Sweden first established the welfare state, these factors prevented anyone from abusing the welfare system. Now welfare recipients routinely abuse the system and taxpayers are beginning to retaliate by cheating on taxes. He believes the Scandinavian countries have been successful despite welfare, not because of it as espoused by American liberals.He notes that countries like Greece, Italy and France have extensive welfare systems but not the prosperity of the Scandinavian countries. It is Scandinavian culture which keeps these countries prosperous, not their welfare systems which are draining their prosperity. He notes that Swedish-Americans are just as prosperous as the Swedes, as a result of Swedish culture. He supplies statistics to show that America has more social mobility than the Scandinavian countries since its welfare system is not as extensive. The US has greater per capita income and lower unemployment than Scandinavian countries, except for oil-rich Norway.All the Scandinavian countries have cut their tax rates. This happened after the height of their welfare states produced economic stagnation until the 1990s when the social democrats were thrown out and center-right governments were installed.He also reminds Americans that FDR, the father of the American welfare state, was concerned that continuous welfare was a "narcotic" that would cause "spiritual and moral disintegration" and become a "subtle destroyer of the human spirit." Today the goal of the Democrat Party is to get as many people on welfare as possible to maintain its political power.
Well-written and thoughtfully balanced offering on the realities of political and economic life in Nordic countries by someone who grew up there. American fans of Socialism and Social Democracy, educate yourselves!
I highly recommend this book to all who want more insight into the Nordic system which is so pervasively quoted by the modern progressives. It is full of facts that simply cast aside the arguments of Bernie Sanders and AOC, among others. In fact, within the first 2 chapters you will have adequate information to defeat most of these arguments.
This book does a great job of pointing out the differences between cultures and the expected results of "Nordic Socialism" when applied to cultures outside of the Nordic region. Why would the outcomes if applied in the USA, not be more like the outcomes in Italy, Greece, Spain, Venezuela....instead of thinking the USA would be more like the Nordic system when in fact we have little in cultural similarity? Southern Europe has applied the same general Socialist practices with very different outcomes.His comparisons of the Nordic nations before official government social policies were enacted is what I found most compelling in his argument that this is a cultural driven outcome based on trust and hard work and the expectation that individuals do not take from the system unless they absolutely have to. I have an employee from Norway and he has often explained to me that almost everyone he knows would be ashamed to take from the system for selfish reasons and in fact they would be turned into authorities by fellow citizens if they did. He said since there has been more and more people are emigrating from other nations to Norway that there has been more and more pressure on the social system precisely because they do not share the same culture of hard work and moral beliefs.Personally I worry any time there is an us versus them in any culture because it can lead to hate and nationalism. My personal problem with Socialism is that dependency on government for your economic, social and physical health and outcomes mean that the government has a great deal of power over its citizens to use as a tool of coercion. It always looks good when the "good guys" are in power but what happens when the next Hitler, Mussolini, etc come to power and decides that if you want healthcare, welfare and social services and social status you better do what they tell you to do? Do not think it cannot happen here in the USA. We just elected Trump and he seems to share some of the same populist nationalistic ideals that lead to Fascism in Europe and Japan that were otherwise generally well educated and peaceful societies. If it can happen to them it can happen to us, That is why I feel we would benefit from more Libertarian ideals and not the intrusive ideals of the left or the right.
Far too many Americans have a simplistic, idealized view of the Nordic countries. This is a badly needed dose of reality.
If you think socialism is great then you need to read about what it does to a prosperous country!
The author gives an approach to the reality of the so called welfare state in the Nordic countries presented with real data from reliable sources,Is an open eyes to all who believe that the sole implementation of government social programs will bring social equality to all, the author emphasizes we need more than that such as social responsabilty among others.Good to read.
If you are tired of hearing the political left brag about this supposed socialist paradise called Sweden and the Nordic countries, then this book is for you.This books explains how a combination of out of control government welfare and mass immigration can destroy a country whose culture has been for centuries all about hard work, respect and social cooperation.The interesting part is that the author actually did benefit from this system but can see how damaging it is in general and in most cases.Highly recommended. Lots of statistical data to backup each concept.
