All of the European 'lbour' parties embrace the concept more or less. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_democracy " The prime example of social democracy is Sweden, which prospered considerably in the 1990s and 2000s [1]. Sweden has produced a strong economy from sole proprietorships up through to multinationals (e.g., Saab, Ikea, and Ericsson), while maintaining one of the longest life expectancies in the world, low unemployment, inflation, infant mortality, national debt, and cost of living, all while registering sizable economic growth.

Well, Graham, actually it has you as # 10,000 right now. But the number is volatile and it'll change as soon as someone posts higher up in the list, pushing the rest down. |
