Socialization begins in Kindergarten. Und continues from zere! Keep in step...... march together and we can make money for our masters! Schooling was used in Prussia. Mind control was recognized by Jesuits: "give me the boy...." The US army hates to take recruits from home schoolers. Independent thinking see? Dangerous to resist the mind control?</description>

		<description>"Nicolas Sarkozy, is unwilling to damage social cohesion (and risk trouble in the streets)"
I suppose another spate of riots and car torchings would be an alternative to a car scrappage scheme.

If you want to see how the Swedes (or Finns) will react all one needs to do is look at the early 1990s.</description>

		<description>I think it is ironic that Ireland is cited as a counter-example given that the first half of the article argues that lack of reform protects "insiders" at the expense of "outsiders" and reduces productivity growth.</description>

Excellent article.  We seem to be on the same page about what needs to be done, but on the wrong blog - and in the wrong place - to do anything about it.</description>

I couldn't find the Republic of Utopia on the map!

&lt;i&gt;"Something is rotten in the state of Denmark," &lt;/i&gt;William Shakespeare wrote in Hamlet, four centuries ago. Substitute Ireland today.

We aspired to be a global knowledge economy but what have we missed by not using Denmark as a model? - - a successful knowledge economy and one of the world's best run small countries.

 Of course insiders will always take advantage as they can stack the deck but even more so in a country with a broken governance system like Ireland's. 

&lt;b&gt;Ireland's Choice: Reform or risking status as a failed rich State:&lt;/b&gt;

The only Scandinavians that will likely emerge largely unscathed from this is Norway. The rest will have to face the same problems as we must. The fundamentals of income versus expenditure apply - even to Scandinavians.
When Latvia defaults and Swedish banks go bust, we'll see just how cohesive the Swedes are.</description>

		<description>That's funny, I had assumed before reading the article that it would be about how social cohesion makes reform easier! There's certainly plenty of evidence of that from Scandinavian economic history.</description>
