Scandinavia's surprising turn from socialism.
Since the early 1990s the four nations of Scandinavia have opened their economies to international competition, chopped taxes, and pruned regulations.

All around the Baltic, a small but lively movement committed to market economics and individual liberty has mounted a challenge to Scandinavia's long socialistic status quo.
