Viking Economics by George Lakey

Scandinavians work less than we do, they have free childcare and healthcare, and they're just generally happier. We're told that we can't have what they have... but what if we can? In Viking Economics, George Lakey explains how the Nordic system works and shows us that if we put in the hard work Scandinavians did not that long ago, we, too, can have a fairer economic policy.
GEORGE LAKEY has been active in direct action campaigns for six decades. Recently retired from Swarthmore College, where he was the Eugene M. Lang Visiting Professor for Issues of Social Change, Lakey was first arrested at a civil rights demonstration in March 1963, and his most recent arrest was on March 29, 2018, as a participant in the Power Local Green Jobs Campaign. His previous book was Viking Economics: How the Scandinavians Got It Right--and How We Can, Too. He lives in Philadelphia.
