Bork Bork Bork - First

Bork Bork Bork - First they dump the Euro. Now, Sweden is thinking about following Denmark and Norway, and rolling back at least the worst excesses of socialism.

Blogger Edge of England's Sword has an interesting piece on Sweden's tentative steps away from the command economy and toward a free market:

The Swedish think tank Timbro serves as the epicenter of classical-liberal thought in the region. Under the leadership of journalist Mattias Bengtsson and Marxist-turned-libertarian Mauricio Rojas, the institute (which is funded mostly by large Swedish corporations) has pushed for welfare reform, free trade, and more capitalism. "We are working for a long-term shift in the public opinion in favor of free markets, entrepreneurship, private property, and an open society," Bengtsson describes his organization's goals.

What next? Germany swinging to the right?

Oh, yeah - that's happening too!
