The Political Orphanage

What the Hell Is Finland Smiling About?


Listen Later

Finland routinely winds up at the top of global happiness surveys. Why?

In this episode, I flew to Helsinki to wander around and chat up locals. Trying to figure out why:

  • How their social safety nets work

  • How this combines to result in their contentedness.

So that we can steal all that, and replicate it.
