Conservatives get it wrong: Denmark has amazing benefits, high tax rates and a thriving economy, says Krugman

Sweden, Denmark and Norway may have a lesson for the United States. Their welfare benefits make it easier for people to work.

They are the most indebted people in the world, live through long, dark winters and have a shorter life expectancy than several Mediterranean countries. Yet for the past four decades, the Danes have consistently rated themselves as the happiest people on earth.

Denmark's democratic socialism does not seem all that bad to millennials. The Danes are often at the top of the world's happiest people. That is a much more achievable goal, and more consistent with the life choices millennials want to make, than to become an Ayn Rand hero. When their children ask them, "and what was it all for?", they will be able to say, "happiness."
