I wouldn&#x27;t.<p>The top 50% of Americans are better off than the top 50% of people in Sweden. That&#x27;s 160 million people doing better than Sweden, I call that an extraordinary success. The bottom 1&#x2F;3 are better off in Sweden than in America however, not much debate on that.<p>Swedes in America also do better than Swedes in Sweden.<p>There is greater opportunity for success in America than there is in Sweden as well. The US has a far greater diversity of culture overall. The US economy is far richer, 45% of all global wealth is concentrated in just 4.6% of the world&#x27;s population. US universities are far superior to Sweden&#x27;s.<p>The Swedish household debt to income ratio is far worse than America&#x27;s, at twice the rate of the US household levels. They&#x27;ve been taking on debt far beyond their means to fake some of that standard of living.<p>Some masses of people are better off in Sweden, some are not.<p>Sweden&#x27;s unemployment rate is higher than the US. Their system was also a disaster for decades before they launched numerous reforms of the prior formulation of their welfare state, improving its overall free market friendliness.
