Yet Scandinavia and NZ always score well from various corruption surveys. The bigger English countries with slightly smaller (than Scandinavia) public sectors such as the UK and USA don’t score as well. Have you got any studies that corroborate your perceptions?Originally Posted by warthog
You really should visit Scandinavia for a while, or maybe even live there for a bit to fully appreciate how those societies work. Their public sector is much larger than it appears once you factor in indirect public sector activity. Nepotism, incompetence, groupthink, petty squabbles and attitudes. It's all alive and well there.
The hog isn't a National or ACT voter by the way.
NZ has a great tax system, and other policies, for developing a low-skill low-productivity agrarian feudal (or ante-bellum Southern-style) economy with a small share market.
