Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?

Why HN links it

Commenters link Johan Norberg's article to argue that Sweden's large companies grew under small government, before the 1960s. They cite it as a source and do not judge the writing itself.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?

  1. Good analysis. One point though about Sweden. Almost all of Sweden's large successful companies were created and grew during a period of very small government. Sweden's current face of big government didn't start until the 60s when all the companies except Mysql were already large.
