Britain and the Nordics

Bagehot again, with some interesting observations on Britain and the Nordic Countries.

It was an eye-opener, living and working in Sweden, I wish that many aspects of their successful system could be made to work here.

We used to scoff at their professional social-democratic futurologists back in the 1970s. They may have been a bit too much "holier-than-you", but they got a lot of things right.
