The article talks about Norway as being socialist. How serious is that?
With regards to the number of startups I would like to see the actual data they use to derive at this number.
For instance government funded initiatives are often part of the scandinavian models to push startups. Which means a lot of cleaning companies and window polishers become part of the statistics.
Also a lot of people in the US would have a company if they could.
Of course size matters or are you saying that there is no difference between people living in a small village and people living in the big city? Are you saying that the social dynamics are completely the same if you have 200 million people vs. 5 million?
I think you are wrong.
