The whole article is about zombie arguments. First would be that high taxes and a welfare state would slow growth. Turns out that's not true. So then it moves on to more nebulous concepts like 'inventiveness', but, it turns out, the Nordic countries also do very well in whatever metrics can be used to marshal the idea of 'inventiveness' as well.
So now we're reduced to saying, I guess, that the Nordic are doing the wrong kind of inventiveness? Maybe?
