From childcare to healthcare, provision for the elderly and
tackling issues of homelessness, the Nordic countries are world
leaders in organising society - no wonder Finland has been ranked
among the happiest places in the world. But when Finnish journalist
Anu Partanen moved to America, she quickly realised that navigating
the basics of everyday life was overly complicated compared to how
society was organised in her homeland. From the complications of
buying a mobile, to the arduous task of filing taxes, she knew
there was a better way and as she got to know her new neighbours
she discovered that they too shared her deep apprehensions. The
Nordic Theory of Everything details Partanen's mission to
understand why America (and much of the Western world) suffers from
so much inequality and struggling social services. Filled with
fascinating insights, advice and practical solutions, she makes a
convincing argument that we can rebuild society, rekindle optimism
and become more autonomous people by following in the footsteps of
our neighbours to the North.
