https://spectator.org/norwegian-illusions-a-warning-for-pete-buttigiegs-infatuation/
It addresses the drawbacks of idealizing social states like Norway, serving as a cautionary tale for those, including Pete Buttigieg, who are infatuated with such models. The article explores the challenges faced by Norway's social state, highlighting issues such as deteriorating conditions, wealth disparity, and the erosion of achievements made possible by the Government Pension Fund Global (Oil Fund), valued at a staggering 1.4 trillion USD. By examining the cultural aspects and societal implications, the article uncovers the consequences of surrendering personal responsibility and individual freedom in exchange for perceived security, leading to stagnation, declining education standards, and a rise in psychiatric symptoms. It provides crucial insights for policymakers and individuals interested in understanding the limitations and real-world implications of adopting similar policies elsewhere.
