Comment on Netflix Resumes Advertising on X After Elon Musk Controversy
prole@sh.itjust.works 6 months agoDo you not know what a “mixed economy” is? Did you even look at a list? Denmark, Norway, Sweden… You think these are "capitalist free-market countries"and that’s why they top the list?
The reason those countries are at the top of the list for quality of life is because they have regulations on their markets, and robust social safety nets.
Maybe actually do a few minutes of honest, open minded research about quality of life.

Yes, they obviously are capitalist free-market countries.
Perhaps you should read something like www.amazon.com/…/0465060730 before going on with this line of conversation? You seem to lack very basic knowledge right now, but you can have a growth mindset and become better.

For fuck sake. I will repeat my question:
Do you not know what a mixed economy is?
Because no, they are not purely “capitalist free market economies.” At all.
Perhaps that bit isn’t covered in the one book you’ve read?

The fuck does that even mean?? Assuming you’re just too embarrassed to ask, I’ll lay it out for you:
Those Scandinavian countries have mixed economies. The “mixed” in there is referring to a combination of market capitalism and socialism.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed_economy
The markets are highly regulated. Many services that are run by private enterprises in the “free market capitalism” that you’re referring to (i.e. Laissez-faire) are instead nationalized.
It’s no coincidence that those nations consistently top those lists.
