Whilst I do not wish the hell that is American business regulation on anyone, I am at least happy to see some Europeans realizing that America does in fact have more onerous regulation, all things considered, than nice nations like Denmark.
Scott Sumner of Bentley University, in Boston, has written on this topic quite a bit. Sumner, in fact, considers Denmark the most free market oriented non-postage-stamp nation on earth. A sample:

On regulation: http://www.themoneyillusion.com/?p=21601 http://www.themoneyillusion.com/?p=21601
On inequality: http://www.themoneyillusion.com/?p=22400 http://www.themoneyillusion.com/?p=22400

- astrodust 13y agoA lot of Americans, having been denied a proper geography education, consider Europe itself to be a postage stamp. If challenged they'd probably assert the whole thing was smaller than Texas.
- mjolk 13y agoThat doesn't explain what he meant by 'nice,' that's just another statement.
