    Did you even look at a list? Denmark, Norway, Sweden… You think these are "capitalist free-market countries"and that’s why they top the list?

    Yes, they obviously are capitalist free-market economies.

    Perhaps you should read something like https://www.amazon.com/Basic-Economics-Thomas-Sowell/dp/0465060730 before going on with this line of conversation? It should cover most of what you seem to be lacking.

      For fuck sake. I will repeat my question:

      Do you not know what a mixed economy is?

      Because no, they are not purely “capitalist free market economies.” At all.

      Perhaps that bit isn’t covered in the one book you’ve read?

          The fuck does that even mean?? Assuming you’re just too embarrassed to ask, I’ll lay it out for you:

          Those Scandinavian countries have mixed economies. The “mixed” in there is referring to a combination of market capitalism and socialism.

          Common to all mixed economies is a combination of free-market principles and principles of socialism.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed_economy

          The markets are highly regulated. Many services that are run by private enterprises in the “free market capitalism” that you’re referring to (i.e. Laissez-faire) are instead nationalized, removing the profit motive from services that improve the lives of every citizen. They have very strong social safety nets and universal health care.

          It’s no coincidence that those nations consistently top those lists.

              You know, there was an entire comment after that part that you just completely ignored. Wonder why.

                The reason for that is probably not what you think it is.

                Anyway, I got into insulting on this thread, which is not what I like to do – even if it’s responding to insults. I removed those comments, and I apologize for them.
