Nordic Capitalism shows how democratic capitalism supports freedom, shared prosperity, and sustainability through a comparative analysis of Nordic and American capitalisms. Drawing on real-world examples and personal experience, Robert Gavin Strand distills ten core lessons from the Nordic context to advance a more just, dignified, and sustainable form of capitalism. He examines how Nordic nations consistently lead in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) rankings and societal well-being indicators, and how Nordic companies frequently top sustainability and stakeholder performance rankings. Challenging the assertion that there is 'no alternative' to American-style capitalism rooted in neoliberalism, he dispels the mischaracterization of Nordic societies as 'socialist.' Blending rigorous scholarship with compelling storytelling, this book speaks to scholars, business leaders, policymakers, students, and concerned citizens. The Nordic variety of capitalism serves as a North Star - offering practical guidance and hope for realizing sustainable capitalism. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

'Where democracy is in charge of capitalism, the people win. When capitalism is in charge of democracy, the oligarchs win. In this important book, Robert Gavin Strand shows how democracies can stay in charge. Nordic Capitalism explains that the Nordic nations can be a model for the US, and how democratic capitalism serves the many, not the few.' Robert B. Reich, Former US Secretary of Labor, Professor Emeritus of Public Policy, UC Berkeley, and author of Coming Up Short
