Hello Friends!

In today’s Let People Prosper episode 84, I’m joined by Swedish economist and author Dr. Sven Larson to discuss economic lessons from Sweden’s collapse 30 years ago, its government today, and much more on what America can learn from the Swedish and European economies.

Watch the episode on YouTube or below:

We discuss:

1) His experience growing up in Sweden during its economic collapse and Sweden's example of how big government can destroy an economy;

2) How America's welfare system is beginning to mimic Europe's; and

3) How increased taxes and increased spending decrease GDP growth and opportunities for workers, especially younger generations.
