Course Description

Overview

Explore the counterintuitive findings on wealth creation in this thought-provoking TEDxOslo talk. Discover why Nordic social democracies like Norway and Sweden, rather than free-market economies like the US or UK, produce the highest number of rich people per capita. Learn how high taxes, generous welfare states, and strong unions create a more favorable environment for accumulating wealth compared to low taxes and minimal government intervention. Gain insights from Harald Eia, a trained sociologist who works in television with comedy and documentaries, as he challenges common beliefs about economic success and presents a fresh perspective on societal structures that foster prosperity.
