That’s some detailed info you’ve provided on Finland.

Did you notice (or could you refer me to) info on what percentage of the Finnish economy runs through the government?

That’s a good condensed measure.

In the US, you’d add up Federal Expenditures (24%, I think), State (8 or so), and local (2 - 3), plus private sector expenditures the government forces on companies through mandates.

Some years ago, my economist brother in law and I came up with a figure in the mid-40’s for the US, and closer to 60 for much of Europe.
