sweden is becoming a communist country... the government is slowly gaining more and more control of the lives of swedes and are losing their freedom to choose for themselves. May God bless the freedom and liberty the founders fought for in 1776.... May USA rise again in the 2nd revolution (hopefully more peaceful than the first)....
hahahaha! Our country is ruled by a consvervative/neo-liberal alliance of right-wing parties which have, since the election of 2006, sincerely crippled Swedens welfare and social politics. But yes, before that the socialdemocratic party, backed up by the Trade Unions, has pushed Sweden into a great, but not perfect mind you, country to live in.
Free education and healthcare is communism? I would say no. But a way towards communism (ei. a class free society)?. I hope so!

there is no such thing as free education or healthcare... its tax payer money, where the government with an iron fist steals from the individuals and redistrubutes to other individuals... i dont believe theft is ever justified especially when it comes to running a society. As for class differences in communism there is a huge class difference, between the elites running the government and the rest of the people, there is nothing wrong with hard working people to be in a higher class than others
Sweden have progressive taxes so that the upper class pays more than the avarage worker. In other words; a swedish worker gets more education, healthcare and so on for less money per individual than the avarage american joe.
Communism = class free society and have not exisisted in this world. State-capitalist dictatorships like Soviet Russia and North Korea never called themselves "communist" and you will not find me defending them.
You are totally wrong. If you listen to ex economic advisors for the Sovjet economy they will say that the Sovjet planning economy was based on a Communist system aswell as the political system.
Sweden has achived it's high level of economic growth: First because it invested early in education: Second because it has been one of the most capitalistic ecnomies and one of the worlds most free economies.
So the state became rich and could invest more because the private sector grew
Hans är ljuvlig! Underbar engelska med svensk brytning, verkar inte bry sig ett dugg om annat än det relevanta. Skönt med ärliga smarta människor som vågar ta plats. Trött på allt annat pseudo-skit i media som inte är relevant. Jag minns eu-valets debatter om böjda bananer, gurkor och snus -när det handlade om sveriges självbestämmanderätt.
Too many people talk about accent compared to content. Views is easy to have upon almost any subject but the argumentation is a different issue.
I think Mr Rosling is an excellent teacher showing the progress in society. The fault finders rely on accent arguments. Maybe there will a graph for pinheads soon...

Oh fuck off you ignorant asshole.. you say you could hardly understand what he said.. well that only proves that you don't know anything about development economics or you weren't paying attention.. I'm guessing you're just stupid
What? He speaks good, clear, easy to understand English! If you can't understand him with his slight accent then you wouldn't be able to understand half the people of England who speak their regional dialects with broad accents!
You can see it due to that most countries lies to the left of the swedish axis, thus they have a better health-to-income ratio. But its a bit misleading, it could just aswell depend on a worse economi than a better health. Its just a matter of viewpoint.
Excellent presentation. I would be interested in seeing a similar presentation on crime in Sweden. Crime is underreported in Sweden, infact its hardly reported at all.
Women in USA are 70% more likely to die in childbirth than in Europe (NYT Jan 12 2005)
Only USA & South Africa do not provide health care
Literacy: America is lowest of all nations except Mexico (Nat Geo Roper 2002 Global Lit rates) - Congress cut funds to Nat Science Fnd & send 3 billion yr to Israel
Foreign Grads applications to usa down 28% - We're not the place anymore
Ive seen some of his other work, and i think he beleives there are 3 factors;
Democracy, Economy, health. Country start out in diffrent places, for instance, sweden started to build a strong economy, then got better healt and lastly we got democracy. (1921)
You're the best!
