Why do people point to Spain and Greece as horrible models, but don't explain why the Scandinavian countries are doing so well? Readers of Kate Picket and Richard Wilkinson's book The Spirit Level: Why Greater Equality Makes Societies Stronger know the reason: The Scandinavian countries work hard at limiting economic inequality. Until Greece and Spain and the United States do that, they're going to be in trouble.
