Interesting Stuff Denmark, Liberal Utopia? - There’s a persistent desire by more socialist elements to imitate Scandinavian countries in terms of economic and social policy. This is an article to describe what Denmark is really like and whether those on the left would actually make the same tradeoffs. The main points of the article are that there’s little to no immigration, that schools and college are deeply meritocratic and that economic constraints in social services generally mean severe limitations on what you can get. The main thing I got out of the article is that the system leftists want is currently funded by fiat money and that economic reality comes in very quickly in any socialized system.
