Yes.
Scandinavia is the gold standard for liberals.
Unless you are talking about immigration, and then no one ever heard of them.

Scandinavia has its problems too, but they're doing a lot better than we are in many measures that aren't "number of billionaires getting richer while the rest of the population gets poorer every year."
People there are happier, healthier, and better educated than they are here.
Sweden actually has a higher rate of billionaires than USA (and Norway).

Not that that has to be a good thing though...
Sweden has less income inequality and higher economic mobility than the US (Norway does better). Although it's been getting worse, the American Dream is still much more attainable in Sweden than it is in the US.
