Sorry to those who find this indulgent and boring, but maybe some of you will find this interesting.

It's a general description of the Norwegian economy (mixed capitalist/socialist), including comments on taxation levels, cost of living, workers conditions and the oil fund (the world's largest sovereign wealth fund). Although general, I found the descriptions to be pretty good.

Socialism? Capitalism? Neither of these rigid ideological mental illnesses have the answers to the mess we’ve created. Then there’s the reality whenever either of these systems lays claim to being practiced a cursory examination of the details reveals each of them gleefully ignores their own rules.
Russia socialist, let alone communist ? Strange then how many Russian billionaires have had their assets confiscated by the west.

Not sure I understood all this, but if the point was that oligarch money seems contrary to socialism / communism, it might be worth pointing out that the oligarchs really became super rich after the end of communism when russian government owned and controlled industries where privatized and sold to them cheaply.

But yeah, it's a **** show either way.
