Academics and other researchers sure can do some funny things sometimes. In a new report on “global competitiveness” the World Economic Forum uses a definition of economic competitiveness that includes several measures of socialistic public policy. They then go on to marvel at how the still socialistic leaning Scandinavians are so “competitive.”
That is why we must always read the details of any ranking or study like this. Sadly, the media will just grab the headlines and run with it ignoring these critical details.
