The Nordic Theory of Everything: In Search of better Life - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

An optimistic account of how the Nordic countries can teach us to live easier, healthier, happier lives: a Duckworth contemporary classic, beautifully repackaged for our 125th anniversary

––––––––––––

From childcare to healthcare to provision for the elderly and the homeless, the Nordic countries are world leaders in organising society - no wonder Finland has been ranked among the happiest places on the planet.

In The Nordic Theory of Everything, Finnish journalist and US immigrant Anu Partanen sets out to understand why America - and much of the Western world – suffers from such stark inequality and struggling social services. Filled with fascinating insights, advice and practical solutions, she makes a convincing argument that we can rebuild society, rekindle optimism and become more autonomous citizens by following in the footsteps of our neighbours to the North.

** PRAISE FOR THE NORDIC THEORY OF EVERYTHING **

'Partanen is a careful, judicious writer and she makes a careful, judicious case... it's useful to know what the outsider knows: there are other ways of organizing humanity
NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

'Could be a game-changer in national conversations about the roles that governments should play in their citizens' lives. At the heart of Partanen's discussion is a concern with what we mean by personal freedom and opportunity'
SEATTLE TIMES

'This highly readable and entertaining work is timely, as the conversation about inequality and the role of social services in this country has never been more relevant'
