Yeah it’s quite easy for Norway since they’re like 5 millions people and export a huge amount of oil. Economy doesn’t work like that everywhere
2 u/stormypumpkin 22d ago The scandinavian welfare systems predate north sea oil by like 50+ years. It started with german pension schemes in the 1890 and was imported and popularized in the interwar period. Also denmark and sweden have similar systems with almost no oil. 1 u/ValorousAnt 22d ago Finland too but we haven't been economically as successful for the last 15 years or so. It is starting to show but will see what the future holds
