Articles liés à The Nordic Theory of Everything: In Search of a Better...
Synopsis
At a 2012 conference on social mobility, Ed Miliband said: 'If you want the American dream, go to Finland. For decades, the country best known for opportunity had been the United States, but that crown has now been taken by our Nordic neighbours.
When journalist Anu Partanen moved from her Scandinavian home to the US in 2008, she quickly went from being a confident, successful professional to a wary, self-doubting mess. She found that navigating the basics of everyday life buying a mobile, filing taxes, education and childcare were more complicated and stressful than anything she had encountered before. As Partanen got to know Americans better, she discovered that they shared her deep apprehension, and to learn why she looked closely at the differences between life in her Nordic home country and the US.
In The Nordic Theory of Everything, Partanen focuses on four key relationships: between parents and children, men and women, employees and employers, and the government and its citizens. She debunks the criticism that the Nordics are socialist nanny states, revealing instead that it is we who are far more enmeshed in unhealthy ependencies than we realise. Her conclusion: the Nordic approach allows citizens to enjoy more individual freedom and independence. Filled with fascinating insights, advice and practical solutions, The Nordic Theory of Everything makes a convincing argument that we can rebuild society, rekindle optimism and restore true freedom to our lives, while pursuing the 'American' dream by following the Nordic way of life.

hardcover. Etat : Fair. Etat de la jaquette : Good. Must be a good book, because the previous owner creased the corners of about 40% of the pages! Also added some small check marks in the text here and there. Cover corners have some wear; small bump to bottom edge to front cover and bumps to spine ends. Binding is firm and square. Jacket has moderate surface and edge wear, including fraying at corners and a small tear at top edge of back flap crease. Good copy for personal use. We are unable to ship oversize books and multi-volume sets internationally. N° de réf. du vendeur CD52309260028
