why would this be surprising? Don't believe for a second that the USA has a generally more liberal financial market than Scandinavia. Employment laws, trade, regulations, etc. are often wayyy less strict in Scandinavia.
- CRConrad 3y agoEmployment laws “wayyy less strict” in Scandinavia than in the USA? Where in Scandinavia would that be?!?
- consilient 3y agoIt shouldn't be surprising, but American political discourse has unfortunately latched onto an extremely simplistic univariate model of economic policy. There's a common background assumption that redistribution, public ownership, fiscal policy, and all varieties of regulation rise or fall together.
