Just ask the Swedes, the Danes, the Finns, virtually every civilized country. I don't count my home country in that group. In Sweden, if you have a good idea, and can get some start up money, you can strike out on your own without fear of abject poverty if things don't go to plan. That's why so many of them are innovation hotbeds. They've taken then practical side of both worlds and merged them into a form of rational social capitalism.
