Which of these countries you're referring to doesn't support a highly extractive (no matter the cost as long as there's sufficient profit in it), "greed is good" version of capitalism? If you're referring to the Nordic countries, from a Marxist perspective, they exploit workers plenty, just mostly not their workers. Lenin talks about this practice in _Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism_ wherein capitalist countries have an incentive to make conditions at home just good enough to stave off revolution, but not so good as to overly damage profit margins. They do so by essentially exporting misery to other countries the way the US has basically turned China into a large US manufacturing annex. The global south is highly exploited by capitalist nations. Norway in particular struggles with huge issues related to climate change, being something like the 13th largest oil producer in the world.
TL;DR: are any of these countries you're referring to not capitalist countries that just export misery?
