Liberals worldwide invoke Scandinavia as a promised land of equality, while most conservatives fear it as a hotbed of liberty-threatening socialism. But the left and right can usually agree on one thing: that the Nordic system is impossible to replicate elsewhere. The US and UK are too big, or too individualistic, or too - something.

In Viking Economics - perhaps the most fun economics audiobook you've ever listened to - George Lakey dispels these myths. He explores the inner-workings of the Nordic economies that boast the world's happiest, most productive workers, and explains how, if we can enact some of the changes the Scandinavians fought for, surprisingly recently, we too can embrace equality in our economic policy.

This book paints a rather rosy picture of the Nordic countries, which I struggled with at first. But, then I realised that this might be how it is when compared to the American model.
The author touches upon some of the problems in the Nordic countries, so at least its not presented as perfect.

Even though it's not totally realistic, it does present a good picture of the model. It's just very simplified.

The narrator however... I wouldn't have believed it was possible to mispronounce all non-English words that much unless it was deliberate! I'm Norwegian, and I was constantly distracted because I had to untangle the pronunciation to understand what he was talking about. I'm still not sure what the author's wife is called, though she is mentioned by name many times throughout! (But, next time I talk to Audun Lysbakken, I'm so gonna say his name like this narrator!)

Interesting comparison

A nice and simple way to see the economic comparisons of the Nordics and the USA, author sounds a little dated but did hold the story together well.

Interesting ideas and great insight
