Booming Sweden’s Free-Market Solution - Bloomberg
I think it's fair to say that our elected officials and their media (did I say "their" media?) continue to ignore what is proven to work...
Anders Aslund reports on Sweden's ideas at Bloomberg.com:
"Americans still think of Sweden as a tightly regulated social-welfare state, but in the last two decades the country has been reformed. Public spending has fallen by no less than one-fifth of gross domestic product, taxes have dropped and markets have opened up. The situation is similar in the other Scandinavian countries, the Baltic nations and Poland. But no turnabout has been as dramatic as Sweden’s."
