The Truth About Scandinavian "Socialism" | IEA Interview
Dr. Nima Sanandaji, a Swedish author and public policy expert, challenges the common myths surrounding Scandinavian socialism. He reveals that Sweden's economic success stemmed from a century of low taxes and free market capitalism, not socialism. The discussion highlights data showing that lower-tax countries enjoy better welfare outcomes, education, and employment rates. Sanandaji also warns about the pitfalls of high-tax welfare states and offers policy lessons from successful low-tax nations like Ireland and Malta.
