From childcare to healthcare to provision for the elderly and the
homeless, the Nordic countries are world leaders in organising
society - no wonder Finland has been ranked among the happiest
places on the planet. In The Nordic Theory of Everything, Finnish
journalist and US immigrant Anu Partanen sets out to understand why
America - and much of the Western world - suffers from such stark
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 citizens by following in the footsteps of our
neighbours to the North.
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.
