I once read that the base of the Swedish welfare state is what the Swedes call the “Royal Swedish Envy”, their historic antagonism toward anyone who achieves greater success than others. Of course the Finns aren’t Swedes, but the small Swedish minority in Finland has had great cultural influence there. But I’m just winging it here.
