https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_modelThe Nordic model (also called Nordic capitalism[1] or Nordic social democracy)[2][3] refers to the economic and social policies common to the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway, Iceland, and Sweden). This includes a combination of free market capitalism with a comprehensive welfare state and collective bargaining at the national level.[4][5] The Nordic model began to earn attention after World War II.[6]Little product market regulation. Nordic countries rank very high in product market freedom according to OECD rankings.[11]The Nordic model is underpinned by a free market capitalist economic system that features high degrees of private ownership[5] with the exception of Norway, which includes a large number of state-owned enterprises and state ownership in publicly listed firms.[26] I've bolded the large parts of the above that you ignored. The Nordic countries have elements of both capitalism and socialism (they aren't mutually exclusive). I don't know anyone who would argue to the contrary. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Going to leave this here
http://mattbruenig.com/2017/07/28/nordic-socialism-is-realer-than-you-think/ Even more interesting than Nordic labor market institutions is Nordic state ownership. Collective ownership over capital is the hallmark of that old-school socialism that is supposed to have been entirely discredited. And yet, such public ownership figures prominently in present-day Norway and Finland and has had a role in the other two Nordic countries as well, especially in Sweden where the government embarked upon a now-defunct plan to socialize the whole of Swedish industry into wage-earner funds just a few decades ago. --- kin to all that throbs ...

darkphoenix181 posted...who owns the means of production? thanks for answering while you are correct, this doesn't explain that the state owns 30% while the rest of the 60%+ is private https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Norway The role of the public sector. The ideological divide between socialist and non-socialist views on public ownership has decreased over time. The Norwegian government has sought to reduce its ownership over companies that require access to private capital markets, and there is an increasing emphasis on government facilitating entrepreneurship rather than controlling (or restricting) capital formation. A residual distrust of the "profit motive" persists, and Norwegian companies are heavily regulated, especially with respect to labor relations. --- sigless user is me or am I? ...
