If the study isn't biased or otherwise inaccurate it shows that the blend can work in a few small countries that generally have a lot going for them,

On the contrary with the exception of Norway and oil, the Scandinavian nations have very little going for them.

if the blend might contain a high level of government spending but doesn't contain extremely high marginal tax rates or strong government interference in the economy. It doesn't show that it would work everywhere and it doesn't show that such a blend would help growth, income, or competitiveness in the US, or even that the blend helps in Finland. It only shows that it doesn't do massive harm.

More BS.......the Scandinavian nations have some of the highest living standards in the world. They have a level of freedom that we can only fantasize about. Their life spans are longer than ours. It didn't happen by chance......they made it happen. They have taken the best of capitalism and socialism and made it work for them in blended form.
