1950-1975 - mostly pre civil rights. Really? Scandinavian countries that are 80% ethically homogeneous, the GDP and population of Wisconsin and absolutely love free market capitalism? UK pre-Thatcher is like so historical. Why not go back even further? But then what would you type all this brilliance on after getting on your time machine and going back to a time that you romance as better?

My question is a real one. What countries today are the model we should follow? Because if they don't exist, then you are just pursuing some irrational fantasy.

Believe it or not, designing working social systems has been a primary focus of many people throughout the history of human life. If there was ever a better system, it would have been tried and realized by now.
