Víctor Pou Serradell the splendid Scandinavian model

The Spanish university professor Victor Pou Serradell lauds the good results obtained by Scandinavian countries in economic and social matters. "According to the annual grading of global competitiveness carried out by the Global Economic Forum, three Scandinavian countries are among the ten best countries: Denmark, Sweden and Finland. The European Commission has also just published a document according to which Scandinavian countries are leading the way, along with Germany and Austria, as 'the most technologically innovative countries'. Europe does not have far to look for a role model. It need only look north .There, one finds a very high level of economic development along with a real social well-being due to a combination of serious efforts, to the solidity of civil society and institutions, to the respect of the law, to free enterprise and to the efficiency of administrations."
