Norway Fights The Temptation


If you click on the title you'll access an article describing the incredible discipline of the Norwegians. A nation with 4.5 million, generally homogeneous people, they fought the urge to spend when their pockets were full and now are thriving from thriftiness. Most people don't realize, but Norway is the third largest exporter of oil in the world. When it spiked at $147 a barrel, they saved. Imagine that? Now they have surpluses and economic growth while the rest of us are on our knees. Just look at the now idle and half finished skyline of Dubai to sense Norway's vision.
