Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

I was going to bring up Finland as well, as an example of how one wildly successful company in a small country can boost all sorts of statistics.

No bonus points for guessing the name of that company, but it does not a social model on its own. In the early 90s, I remember reading how Finland was paying for its intermediate model between the West's capitalism and Soviet "socialism" that it had supposedly copid for a good part - and the loss of trade with Russia in the chaos of the early 90s did have a huge negative impact on the country - again a example of how a single factor can impact a small economy.
