520    The Nordic welfare model has received a lot of positive 
       attention around the world.  High standard of living, small
       income disparities and substantial social mobility looks 
       like a very attractive package.  Moreover, sound public 
       finances and strong emphasis on environmental 
       sustainability suggest that today’s success has not been 
       accomplished at the expense of future generations.But is 
       there really a unique “Nordic Supermodel”, unshaken by 
       the global economic crisis and capable of producing 
       continuous high growth and world class welfare services 
       when many developed economies struggle with the impacts of
       global competition and population ageing?This book shows 
       that Nordic performance has not been quite as unique or 
       uniform as often claimed. The recent global and European 
       crisis and country specific shocks have affected also the 
       Nordic countries, some of them very strongly. And there 
       are as many variants of the Nordic model as there are 
       Nordic countries. Going forward, also the Nordic countries
       will be challenged by ageing, globalisation and 
       technological change, some more than the others. On the 
       other hand many fundamentals remain strong in the Nordic 
       countries, and, what is perhaps most important, the 
       Nordics have proved themselves capable of adjusting.  
       Labour market practices, pension policies, and production 
       of public services have been reformed to match new 
       circumstances.  Public policies have been aimed at 
       creating new jobs and helping people in transition, not at
       protecting uncompetitive businesses. There is a strong, 
       rational tradition of consensual policy making.Further 
       reforms are needed, and some widening of income 
       disparities may be inevitable. The message of the book is,
       however, that refocused and recalibrated in a realistic 
       scale the Nordic model has good chances of thriving well 
       into the future. [Elib]
