The Nordic model

Listening to a podcast from The Wall Street Journal that asks if the "socialist" progressives will take over the Democratic party. But the more basic and important question they ask is "how can the Democratic party concretely answer the legitimate concerns of voters who are being financially crushed?".

They see the two alternative answers as (1) a Mamdani kind of socialism, or (2) a Republicanism disguised as progressive Democracy created by former Obama aides at Pod Save America and detailed in the repellant book, Abundance.

I think neither one of these options is the right one, but I do have an alternative that I think is much better than either of those, and we can see how well it is working in real time - the Nordic model ...



Movers and shakers of the Democratic party, if you really do want to be sucessful in upcoming elections, and more to the point, if you really do want to help people in need, than stop trying to be socialists or Republicans, and embrace the Nordic model instead.
