uncertainty, America's ever-curious journalists are seeking out
alternatives to Anglo-American capitalism and finding them in the
happy and healthy states of Western Europe. The New York
Times wonders "whether some form of [the Dutch system] could
be adopted" in the United States. The following week the
Times offered an A1 story on the wonderful success of
Norway, under the unambiguous headline, "Thriving Norway Provides
an Economics Lesson." But Michael C. Moynihan wonders how
successful—and social democratic—these countries really are.
