Quotation

The reasons for all this Nordic success in business are, once again, not complicated. They result from deliberate policy choices inspired by the fundamental values and goals of the Nordic theory of love: making sure that families are composed of strong and independent individuals who function well as a team, that workers are healthy and well educated and not overly dependent on their employers, that infrastructure is top-notch, that institutions are transparent, that the justice system works in the public interest, that corruption is low, that technology permeates society, that trade is free, that regulations are reasonable. Another way of saying this is that NORDIC NATIONS HAVE CULTIVATED THE SINGLE MOST VALUABLE RESOURCE A SOCIETY CAN HAVE IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY: HUMAN CAPITAL.
