I believe that there are some interesting articles out there that compare Sweden's economic growth and prosperity, along with that of her people, against the US. Basically, the papers I read seemed to say that the socialism practiced by Sweden seemed to be of no hinderance to its success economically - DESPITE what is some of the highest tax rates in the west.
That being said, I seem to remember that the papers I saw didn't necessarily compare apples to apples. Also, I don't know of the collective American psyche is ready to move towads Sweden's format...although we may certainly be headed in that direction.
Sorry I'm not linking to anything, but it is 12:18am, I have a grant due on Tuesday, and I was just stopping by for a quick look to see what was happening. I can't afford to get sidetracked!
