How do the Nordic countries ensure that their competitiveness is not undermined by high taxes and large safety nets?
While the business communities in the Nordic countries, when asked, point to high tax rates as a potential problem area, there is no evidence that these are adversely affecting the ability of these countries to compete effectively in world markets, or to deliver to their respective populations extremely high living standards.
High tax rates are problematic when the money collected is not directed to efficiency-enhancing activities or is otherwise misused in some way in what the IMF calls, perhaps euphemistically, “unproductive expenditures.” If, however, the high tax rates generate resources that are then used to deliver world-class educational establishments, an effective social safety net, and a highly motivated and skilled labor force, then competitiveness is boosted, not undermined.
