Anyway, I can report that the continental depression is not affecting Sweden. People are as optimistic and pompous as ever. If we had a survey at least two thirds would say that Sweden is the best country on the face of the planet.

It's called "Swedish exceptionalism" or "Welfare imperialism" and it has been around for at least 50 years.

And I have to admit that even I sometimes can not control my nationalism.

(Not that any Swede would ever admit it is nationalism, the thought have never ever struck their minds. That Sweden is the best country in the world is so deeply ingrained that it's not an opinion, it's a fact, just like snow being white and the sky blue. And this, of course makes it even more intensely nationalistic.)

I mean, just look at me and this comment. It was about Germany and here I am writing about Sweden. No one is immune.

Anyway, silly Germans, don't read Anglo-Saxon business press! They have an agenda, remember?

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
