Why do these countries have such a high standard of living? I understand they have high degrees of social welfare, but how free are their markets?
>norway
oil money
>sweden
used to have quite a free market in the late 20th century, couple that with a small but educated population that is generally industrialized and it makes for a good standard of living
of course, now its going down the gutter for obvious reasons

>why
because we are better than the rest of you.
>>133690966
Because left wing governments. That's why.
Left wing enough to give a shit about people's standards of living and privding quality services but not left wing enough to go full communist.
>>133690966
Homogeny of race.
Because they are protestants

We have fish and tourism which brings money into our economy. But what mostly makes for our high standard of living is being white, homogeneous, civilized and hard working in a nation that uses the Nordic model.

But aren't they technically NOT socialist, because the means of production are for profit, and not for the public need? I mean businesses are still privately owned, they just have taxes up the ass.
I was curious if businesses in Scandinavia and subject to tons of regulation, or if there markets are actually pretty free.

Sorry norfag but publishing papers on 'new gender discovered' doesn't count as a scientific paper

If you work hard Poland can reach high standard of living as well.

Genetics and environment.
Those who weren't productive or intelligent enough to survive simply died from the harsh cold.
Less burden for the rest of the population.
Cold climates are like perpetual black plague, and benefits the most fit and intelligent.

Watch this and you'll understand.
Their post-war generation is old but still working, paying the highest taxes of their working lives and investing money they have as well. Gives the governments the resources to spend spend spend for their people and give high quality of life.
But that's all going to go away with demographic changes. They don't have a replacement generation, and the people they're importing are nowhere near as productive as local Scandinavians, because they aren't engaged in society.

Oh so we CAN casually argue in favor of eugenics and, by logical extension, support African IQ hypotheses that liberals and academics vigorously shout down as pseudoscience
