My apologies, even I was confused at the terminology. Social Democracy vs Democratic Socialism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_democracy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_democracy <-- The Nordic model. This what I would argue for, and when people say they want to emulate the Nordic model, this is what they mean. It's 100% a market economy, no one is advocating for a socialist planned economy. Regarding economic powerhouses, do we really need to make that the goal? Quality of life and sustainability should be the primary goal, not corporate growth and profits.
