Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this map say the average person in Nordic countries would still be better off if global wealth distribution was even? That would imply wealth inequality in those countries is as bad as in the US, which seems counterintuitive.
I'm a little confused by the graph myself, but wealth inequality in Europe is still bad, which is papered over by public-ish healthcare etc. that improves living standards but doesn't show up when you measure wealth.
we need nordic socialism :AyyyyyOC-big:
Thinking about that “how oil doesn’t corrupt norway” post someone made to the dunk tank a couple weeks ago now. Very cursed. Thanks.

Sweden has had soaring inequality in the last 20 or so years. Nobody seems to want to talk about it really.
