Stiglitz on globalisation. Between keep-on-going with more of the same and the protectionist closing, he advocates the Nordic model:
There is a third approach: social protection without protectionism, the kind of approach that the small Nordic countries took. They knew that as small countries they had to remain open. But they also knew that remaining open would expose workers to risk. Thus, they had to have a social contract that helped workers move from old jobs to new and provide some help in the interim.
Well, the author was in a way critical of the globalist juggernaut (in the same time working inside the Machine – at the World Bank), but maybe there are some reasons the Nordic model is applied only in the … Nordic countries. (small countries, historical & cultural heritage, etc).
