During one of the Democratic primary debates this fall, Bernie Sanders spoke favorably of Scandinavia, as compared to the United States, when it comes to treating workers well. "We should look to countries like Denmark, like Sweden and Norway and learn from what they have accomplished for their working people," he said. Onstage, Hillary Clinton reminded him: "We are not Denmark." On the right, Sanders was pilloried even more: How could we possibly think to learn something from the frozen countries on the top of Europe?
