The new Nordic hype

Fabrizio Tassinari's CNN column focuses on recent debate on the Nordic model

In a recent issue, The Economist crowned the Nordic economic experience as a “supermodel.” Last month, the New Yorker celebrated Denmark’s hugely successful noir fiction and the egalitarian society behind it as something of a “post-modern” paradise.

These characterizations may be accurate, but Tassinari’s new commentary concentrates instead on the mindset that inspires this virtuous socio-economic experience—as seen by a non-Northerner.

The column appeared on CNN and can be downloaded here.
