This guy’s upbeat editorials in the Swedish media have consistently applauded our transformation from a world leader along just about every metric of human development, to a country that blindly adopts market solutions to societal problems whose political leaders settle for goals such as “being on par with the rest of Europe”. His focus on the positive provides the winners of this transformation with the conversational ammunition they need not to feel guilty, and diverts attention away from the glaring issues (growing inequality, racial tensions, exploitation of employees by employers, etc) that I’ll assume Norberg doesn’t have much insight into, given his writings.
