I'm genuinely curious about how states with high redistribution rates fair with regard to their impact on the broader world. For example, are the Nordics over or under-represented in Nobel Prizes? Is there some metric that takes into account population, perhaps GDP per capita, and patents filed or scientific papers written? How about immigration policy, both statutory and real-world. I do know that the Nordics are largely mono-cultures where something like 98% of the people are the same color and religion. If the Nordics are such great places to be, and if they have statutorily open borders (they are in the EU, right?), why are they not flooded with poor people from other nations? Are they socially hostile to immigrants?
