Denmark has a diverse, mixed economy, but one that relies almost entirely on human resources, as there are few mineral resources available, except mature oil and gas wells in the North Sea. Cooperatives form a large part of some sectors, be it in housing, agriculture or retail. Foundations play a large role as owners of private sector companies. Denmark's nominal GDP was estimated to be $333,238 million, the 32nd largest in the world. It has the world's lowest level of income inequality, according to the World Bank Gini (%), and the world's highest minimum wage, according to the IMF. As of June 2010 the unemployment rate is at 7.4%, which is below the EU average of 9.6%. As of 28 February 2014 Denmark is among the countries with the highest credit rating.
Denmark's main exports are: industrial production/manufactured goods 73.3% (of which machinery and instruments were 21.4%, and fuels, chemicals, etc. 26%); agricultural products and others for consumption 18.7% (in 2009 meat and meat products were 5.5% of total export; fish and fish products 2.9%). Denmark is a net exporter of food and energy and has since the 1990s had a balance of payments surplus. The accumulated value of service and merchandise exports in 2013 amounted to 54% of GDP, and imports in 2013 amounted to 49% of GDP. Notable among the service exports are container shipping. There is no net foreign debt as other countries owe more money to Denmark than Denmark owes to them, but because of large deficits due to increased unemployment levels the central government has increased its debt level since the end of September 2008, when it stood at 21 percent (gross debt) of GDP, according to the central bank - in accordance with the Eurostat EMU- gross debt numbers, which only take liabilities into account. (See below (Budgets)). Taking assets into account as well net debt of the central government was 11 percent. The public sector as a whole had net assets of 108 billion kroner in 2008. Within the European Union, Denmark advocates a liberal trade policy. Its standard of living is average among the Western European countries - and for many years the most equally distributed as shown by the Gini coefficient - in the world, and the Danes devote 0.8% of gross national income (GNI) to foreign aid. It is a society based on consensus (dialogue and compromise) with the Danish Confederation of Trade Unions and the Confederation of Danish Employers in 1899 in Septemberforliget (The September Settlement) recognising each other's right to organise, thus, negotiate. The employer's right to hire and fire their employees whenever they find it necessary is recognised. There is no official minimum wage (Danish: minimumsløn) set by the government; the minimum of wages (Danish: mindsteløn) is determined by negotiations between the organisations of employers and employees. Denmark produces oil, natural gas, wind- and bio-energy. Its principal exports are machinery, instruments and food products. The US is Denmark's largest non-European trading partner, accounting for around 5% of total Danish merchandise trade. Aircraft, computers, machinery, and instruments are among the major US exports to Denmark. Among major Danish exports to the U.S. are industrial machinery, chemical products, furniture, pharmaceuticals, Lego and canned ham and pork.

Denmark scholars explicitly state that Christianity is the origin of many of its values, institutions, etc.
"Compared with most other countries in the world, Denmark's societal institutions and popular mentality have been shaped by Christianity to an exceptional degree... religion is more firmly entrenched in Danish society than in many other countries....The Church of Denmark...has nearly 80% of the population as members."
denmark.dk/en/society/religion/
Secular education uses propaganda to rob people (even Danish commenters below) of facts that even atheist scholars admit:
"Everything good in Western civilization, from individual liberty to the arts, is due to Christianity." - Murray Rothbard
This is like teaching relativity but attributing it to Darwin instead of Einstein.
"28% of Danish citizens responded that "they believe there is a God", 47% responded that "they believe there is some sort of spirit or life force" and 24% responded that "they do not believe there is any sort of spirit, God or life force". Another poll, carried out in 2008, found that 25% of Danes believe Jesus is the son of God, and 18% believe he is the Savior of the world.[3]
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Denmark
When Bible principles are followed, even secular research foundations like Blue Zones show they brings happiness and health to life (see www.bluezones.com or quest.bluezones.com). These Bible factors are big reasons Denmark is #1 in happiness and #1 in peace (http://travel.amerikanki.com/most-peaceful-countries-in-the-world/) or close to it year after year after year.
There are ~20+ biblical principles on economics. Denmark follows a number of them even better than America. That is a key ingredient to their happiness.
http://www.truth-is-life.org/jubileeeconomics.html
Basically, the Bible advocated either:
1A) Distribution of all land and natural resources, since these were created by God and not any human being. The Bible repeatedly instructed Israel to give every family permanent land in Joshua 13-18, Ezekiel 45-6 and other places. When kings such as Solomon did this in 1 Kings 4:25, it brought great peace and safety to all.
Concentration of wealth dramatically increases corruption, bribery and the ability of a few elite to control media companies and education and brain wash people which is precisely why American founders feared it worse than invading armies.
AFTER land is shared fairly, THEN the free market takes over and those who work hard can get rich, but all can take care of their basic needs. This was the Jubilee system that God gave Israel (VERY briefly).
1B) If the land is not divided fairly as is ideal, then God required pagan nations to guarantee the basic needs of the poor (Daniel 4:25). Kids and a few others need full support. Adults should be supported in ways to make them self-sufficient as soon as possible, never for no work done.
Many ancient nations/tribes and 1000s of great thinkers agree that these are the only 2 ethical economic systems and they are the only ones that prevent many societal ills. Capitalism, communism and most forms of socialism refuse to recognize these principles..
Denmark, Sweden and some others are doing B with free education, free health care, etc. America isn't currently doing EITHER A or B and so is having big problems.
2) Danes don't make materialism the #1 idol as many nations do. People are much more important. The Bible says repeatedly that greed is the root of all evil and we can see this in many situations all throughout history causing much destruction, including millions of kids dying every year these days because of capitalism.
Dr. Woodberry has completed the most rigorous study so far and shown that protestant missionaries are by far the #1 factor in bringing democracy and freedom to countries around the world. See:
https://www.disciplenations.org/media/CT-Article-On-Missionaries-And-Global-Democracy.pdf
http://isites.harvard.edu/fs/docs/icb.topic965299.files/Woodberry%20APSR%202011.pdf
Christianity pioneered economic rights as well as many human rights and a good deal of morals and stopped many abuses as well 1000s of years before science figured out why they were important. Bible principles add ~10 years to life and increase, happiness, success, mental stability, marriage quality and other things.

Refugee Crisis Hits Sweden's Rich-Poor Divide Fueling Pay Debate
Bloomberg Business - http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-11-18/refugee-crisis-hits-sweden-s-rich-poor-divide-fueling-pay-debate
'Decades-old practices that have propped up wages and restricted hiring have so far stopped unskilled immigrants from joining the workforce. But with some 350,000 asylum seekers, mostly from Syria and Afghanistan, set to arrive in Sweden by the end of next year, keeping all those people on state handouts rather than letting them do low-paid jobs looks untenable.'
The Swedish System of Government
Sweden Sverige-
https://sweden.se/society/the-swedish-system-of-government/
'In Sweden, general elections are held every four years, with the last one held in September 2014. Around 7 million people are entitled to vote and thereby influence which political party will represent them in the Riksdag (the Swedish Parliament), county councils and municipalities. People can also influence Swedish politics in other ways - by taking part in referendums, joining a political party or commenting on reports presented by the Government.'

With very few natural resources, the economy of Denmark relies almost entirely on human resources. The service sector makes up the vast amount of the employment and economy. Its industrialised market economy depends on imported raw materials and foreign trade. Within the European Union, Denmark advocates a liberal trade policy. Its standard of living is average among the Western European countries - and for many years the most equally distributed as shown by the Gini coefficient - in the world, and the Danes devote 0.8% of Gross National Income (GNI) to foreign aid. It is a society based on consensus (dialogue and compromise) with the Danish Confederation of Trade Unions and the Confederation of Danish Employers in 1899 in Septemberforliget (The September Settlement) recognising each others right to organise, thus, negotiate. The employer's right to hire and fire their employees whenever they find it necessary is recognised. There is no official minimum wage (Danish: minimumsløn) set by the government; the minimum of wages (Danish: mindsteløn) is determined by negotiations between the organisations of employers and employees.

The Kingdom of Denmark (Danish: Kongeriget Danmark, pronounced [ˈkɔŋəʁiːəð ˈdanmɑɡ̊] (
listen)) is a constitutional monarchy and sovereign state consisting the country of Denmark in northern Europe and two autonomous constituent countries, the Faroe Islands in the North Atlantic and Greenland in North America. The kingdom is a unitary state with some power being devolved from Denmark proper to Greenland and the Faroe Islands; this polity is referred to as the Danish Realm. Denmark proper is the hegemonial area, where judicial, executive, and legislative power resides. The Faroe Islands are defined to be a community of people within the kingdom, and the Greenlandic people are defined as a separate people with the right to self-determination.
Denmark is the southernmost of the Nordic countries, located southwest of Sweden and south of Norway, and bordered to the south by Germany. The country consists of a large peninsula, Jutland and many islands, most notably Zealand, Funen, Lolland, Falster and Bornholm, as well as hundreds of minor islands often referred to as the Danish Archipelago.

Economy of Denmark
Denmark has a diverse, mixed economy, but one that relies almost entirely on human resources, as there are few mineral resources available, except mature oil and gas wells in the North Sea. Cooperatives form a large part of some sectors, be it in housing, agriculture or retail. Foundations play a large role as owners of private sector companies. Denmark's nominal GDP was estimated to be $333,238 million, the 32nd largest in the world. It has the world's lowest level of income inequality, according to the World Bank Gini (%), and the world's highest minimum wage, according to the IMF. As of June 2010 the unemployment rate is at 7.4%, which is below the EU average of 9.6%. As of 28 February 2014 Denmark is among the countries with the highest credit rating.

Richard Wilkinson: How economic inequality harms societies
http://www.ted.com We feel instinctively that societies with huge income gaps are somehow going wrong. Richard Wilkinson charts the hard data on economic inequality, and shows what gets worse when rich and poor are too far apart: real effects on health, lifespan, even such basic values as trust. TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Featured speakers have included Al Gore on climate change, Philippe Starck on design, Jill Bolte Taylor on observing her own stroke, Nicholas Negroponte on One Laptop per Child, Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Bill Gates on malaria and mosquitoes, Pattie Maes on the "Sixth Sense" wearable tech, and "Lost" producer JJ A... -

Denmark has a diverse, mixed economy, but one that relies almost entirely on human resources, as there are few mineral resources available, except mature oil and gas wells in the North Sea. Cooperatives form a large part of some sectors, be it in housing, agriculture or retail. Foundations play a large role as owners of private sector companies. Denmark's nominal GDP was estimated to be $333,238 million, the 32nd largest in the world. It has the world's lowest level of income inequality, according to the World Bank Gini (%), and the world's highest minimum wage, according to the IMF. As of June 2010 the unemployment rate is at 7.4%, which is below the EU average of 9.6%. As of 28 February 2014 Denmark is among the countries with the highest credit rating.
Denmark's main exports are: industrial production/manufactured goods 73.3% (of which machinery and instruments were 21.4%, and fuels, chemicals, etc. 26%); agricultural products and others for consumption 18.7% (in 2009 meat and meat products were 5.5% of total export; fish and fish products 2.9%). Denmark is a net exporter of food and energy and has since the 1990s had a balance of payments surplus. The accumulated value of service and merchandise exports in 2013 amounted to 54% of GDP, and imports in 2013 amounted to 49% of GDP. Notable among the service exports are container shipping. There is no net foreign debt as other countries owe more money to Denmark than Denmark owes to them, but because of large deficits due to increased unemployment levels the central government has increased its debt level since the end of September 2008, when it stood at 21 percent (gross debt) of GDP, according to the central bank - in accordance with the Eurostat EMU- gross debt numbers, which only take liabilities into account. (See below (Budgets)). Taking assets into account as well net debt of the central government was 11 percent. The public sector as a whole had net assets of 108 billion kroner in 2008. Within the European Union, Denmark advocates a liberal trade policy. Its standard of living is average among the Western European countries - and for many years the most equally distributed as shown by the Gini coefficient - in the world, and the Danes devote 0.8% of gross national income (GNI) to foreign aid. It is a society based on consensus (dialogue and compromise) with the Danish Confederation of Trade Unions and the Confederation of Danish Employers in 1899 in Septemberforliget (The September Settlement) recognising each other's right to organise, thus, negotiate. The employer's right to hire and fire their employees whenever they find it necessary is recognised. There is no official minimum wage (Danish: minimumsløn) set by the government; the minimum of wages (Danish: mindsteløn) is determined by negotiations between the organisations of employers and employees. Denmark produces oil, natural gas, wind- and bio-energy. Its principal exports are machinery, instruments and food products. The US is Denmark's largest non-European trading partner, accounting for around 5% of total Danish merchandise trade. Aircraft, computers, machinery, and instruments are among the major US exports to Denmark. Among major Danish exports to the U.S. are industrial machinery, chemical products, furniture, pharmaceuticals, Lego and canned ham and pork.

Denmark scholars explicitly state that Christianity is the origin of many of its values, institutions, etc.
"Compared with most other countries in the world, Denmark's societal institutions and popular mentality have been shaped by Christianity to an exceptional degree... religion is more firmly entrenched in Danish society than in many other countries....The Church of Denmark...has nearly 80% of the population as members."

Secular education uses propaganda to rob people (even Danish commenters below) of facts that even atheist scholars admit:
"Everything good in Western civilization, from individual liberty to the arts, is due to Christianity." - Murray Rothbard
This is like teaching relativity but attributing it to Darwin instead of Einstein.
"28% of Danish citizens responded that "they believe there is a God", 47% responded that "they believe there is some sort of spirit or life force" and 24% responded that "they do not believe there is any sort of spirit, God or life force". Another poll, carried out in 2008, found that 25% of Danes believe Jesus is the son of God, and 18% believe he is the Savior of the world.[3]
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Denmark
When Bible principles are followed, even secular research foundations like Blue Zones show they brings happiness and health to life (see www.bluezones.com or quest.bluezones.com). These Bible factors are big reasons Denmark is #1 in happiness and #1 in peace (http://travel.amerikanki.com/most-peaceful-countries-in-the-world/) or close to it year after year after year.
There are ~20+ biblical principles on economics. Denmark follows a number of them even better than America. That is a key ingredient to their happiness.
http://www.truth-is-life.org/jubileeeconomics.html
Basically, the Bible advocated either:
1A) Distribution of all land and natural resources, since these were created by God and not any human being. The Bible repeatedly instructed Israel to give every family permanent land in Joshua 13-18, Ezekiel 45-6 and other places. When kings such as Solomon did this in 1 Kings 4:25, it brought great peace and safety to all.
Concentration of wealth dramatically increases corruption, bribery and the ability of a few elite to control media companies and education and brain wash people which is precisely why American founders feared it worse than invading armies.
AFTER land is shared fairly, THEN the free market takes over and those who work hard can get rich, but all can take care of their basic needs. This was the Jubilee system that God gave Israel (VERY briefly).
1B) If the land is not divided fairly as is ideal, then God required pagan nations to guarantee the basic needs of the poor (Daniel 4:25). Kids and a few others need full support. Adults should be supported in ways to make them self-sufficient as soon as possible, never for no work done.
Many ancient nations/tribes and 1000s of great thinkers agree that these are the only 2 ethical economic systems and they are the only ones that prevent many societal ills. Capitalism, communism and most forms of socialism refuse to recognize these principles..
Denmark, Sweden and some others are doing B with free education, free health care, etc. America isn't currently doing EITHER A or B and so is having big problems.
2) Danes don't make materialism the #1 idol as many nations do. People are much more important. The Bible says repeatedly that greed is the root of all evil and we can see this in many situations all throughout history causing much destruction, including millions of kids dying every year these days because of capitalism.
Dr. Woodberry has completed the most rigorous study so far and shown that protestant missionaries are by far the #1 factor in bringing democracy and freedom to countries around the world. See:
https://www.disciplenations.org/media/CT-Article-On-Missionaries-And-Global-Democracy.pdf
http://isites.harvard.edu/fs/docs/icb.topic965299.files/Woodberry%20APSR%202011.pdf
Christianity pioneered economic rights as well as many human rights and a good deal of morals and stopped many abuses as well 1000s of years before science figured out why they were important. Bible principles add ~10 years to life and increase, happiness, success, mental stability, marriage quality and other things.

Refugee Crisis Hits Sweden's Rich-Poor Divide Fueling Pay Debate
Bloomberg Business - http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-11-18/refugee-crisis-hits-sweden-s-rich-poor-divide-fueling-pay-debate
'Decades-old practices that have propped up wages and restricted hiring have so far stopped unskilled immigrants from joining the workforce. But with some 350,000 asylum seekers, mostly from Syria and Afghanistan, set to arrive in Sweden by the end of next year, keeping all those people on state handouts rather than letting them do low-paid jobs looks untenable.'
The Swedish System of Government
Sweden Sverige-
https://sweden.se/society/the-swedish-system-of-government/
'In Sweden, general elections are held every four years, with the last one held in September 2014. Around 7 million people are entitled to vote and thereby influence which political party will represent them in the Riksdag (the Swedish Parliament), county councils and municipalities. People can also influence Swedish politics in other ways - by taking part in referendums, joining a political party or commenting on reports presented by the Government.'
Sweden flirts with six hour work day

'The 40 hour work week for a full-time employee has been trimmed to 30 hours at some Swedish firms, and studies have found that the result is more productivity and better morale.'
