Lauren,
Great job on a posting about a topic that has almost become a clarion call in the Democratic primaries debates and is also drawing a deep wedge in our nation’s political landscape.

The skinny of it is that Democrats have it wrong. They are cherry picking points from Northern Europe’s economic history that they believe may resonate with their potential voters and galvanize them.

To gain more insight into Scandinavian economic model, I invite you to read “Why Bernie Sanders Is Wrong About Sweden,” an August 23, 2019, Wall Street Journal op-ed that explains that the

“Nordic model” of socialism that Mr. Sanders and other left-leaning Democrats subscribe is actually more like “ruthless capitalism”.

This op-ed is based on an interview with Johan Norberg, a Swedish author and historian devoted to promoting economic globalization.
