The Nordic Theory of Everything by Anu Partanen

Description

Partanen compares and contrasts life in the United States with life in the Nordic region, focusing on four key relationships–parents and children, men and women, employees and employers, and government and citizens.  She debunks criticism that Nordic countries are socialist “nanny states”, revealing instead that it is we Americans who are far more enmeshed in unhealthy dependencies than we realize.  As Partanen explains step by step, the Nordic approach allows citizens to enjoy more individual freedom and independence than we do.   Paperback
