Wow, quite a statement. Lets compare to USA: Sweden has less suicide and less depression. Norway and Denmark rank higher in HDI. Pretty much all nordics rank better in Gini ratios. Norway has higher GDP and rest of the nordics are not far off. All nordics rank higher in innovation index. The safety nets aren't doing so bad in my mind.
