I found it interesting how they praise the privatisation route for schools and hospitals etc. We clearly see this doesn&#x27;t benifit the masses from the US model.<p>And to criticise Norway for paying out more in benifit to the lower end of society compared to other OECD, why is this bad? It simply means they are paying out less in other areas but what are these and why is it a negative?<p>Personally I found this a weak article. I expect better fact driven discussion from the economist rather than a piece that seems to want to find a reason to bash a country for popular reading.
