So this is socialism? : a comparison of two nations and happiness

Omtale

Democratic governments exist to serve their citizens. The well-being of their people should be the basis for their agendas, policies, and actions. Year after year the world's "happiest" people are Nordic. They live in social democracies, mixing capitalist and socialist policies. This book compares the main social benefits offered cradle to grave by Norway, paid for by taxes, to the American equivalents, both the facts and anecdotal experiences. This includes the provision and costs of parental leave, daycare, healthcare, higher education, pensions, and elderly care.
