Sobre los países del Norte de Europa

No en último término después del artículo central de Economist (que habla de las luces del Norte) esta semana, creo que tenemos que fijarnos en los países del Norte... Una pequena contribución son los tweets explicativos del ministro de Finlandia, Alexander Stubb (‏@alexstubb), que copio a continuación:

Interesting analysis on the Nordic countries in @TheEconomist. Three quick observations about our model(s):

1. The Nordic model is a mix between an open market economy and social security.

2. The Nordic model can be described as Nordic capitalism or the Nordic welfare state.

3. In the Nordic countries we sometimes talk like socialists and act like capitalists. At other times we do the reverse. In sum, in the Nordic countries, like in many other places, we try to find the right balance between the right and the left. #ambidexterity
