[QUOTE="Goweresque, post: 3041064, member: 818"] Nordic countries operate a model that is little understood on the Left in the UK (where they are often touted as role models, mainly due to their high taxes and extensive welfare system). The Nordic economic model is resolutely pro-market and private ownership with regards to business, but one of high personal income and expenditure taxation, allied to widespread social welfare provision. I have no doubts that an independent Scotland would rapidly acquire the latter (high taxes), its the former (being pro-markets and pro-business) I think it would struggle to find to its taste, yet those attitudes are crucial to making the Nordic model work.
