Socialism in Scandinavia? What are you talking about?
Denmark has more business freedom, investment freedom, financial freedom, freedom from corruption, and labor freedom than the U.S. while having comparable trade freedom, monetary freedom, and property rights to the U.S.
Sweden has more business freedom and freedom from corruption than the United States while having comparable trade freedom, monetary freedom, investment freedom, financial freedom, freedom from corruption, and property rights to the U.S.
Norway is not nearly as successful as Sweden or Denmark despite its great natural resources, and thus is not used by social democracts as a good example of social democracy. But when it is used, it is useful to point out that Norway has greater freedom from corruption while having comparable property rights, business freedom, and trade freedom to the United States.
