Eden

Joseph Steglitz discusses the art of the possible:
Suppose someone were to describe a small country that provided free education through university for all of its citizens, transportation for school children, and free health care – including heart surgery – for all. You might suspect that such a country is either phenomenally rich or on the fast track to fiscal crisis.
Oddly enough, the ideal future doesn't require wide-spread prostitution or bunion trimming.
