This week's WASH takeaway: handwashing needs everyday service management. Water, soap and working facilities have to be there after the campaign ends. Who checks and replenishes them? A useful reminder from UNICEF: unicefusa.org/stories/handwa…

This is not correct. Sweden’s period of miracle growth occurred under social democratic hegemony from 1932-1976. The problems began when it liberalized capital flows and finance in the 1980s, leading to a severe financial crisis in the early 1990. That’s the key lesson.
Important piece. After Sweden's 1970s-1980s experiment with sky-high taxes and spending brought economic stagnation and a debt crisis... a reformed Sweden is now, in many ways, more capitalist than the U.S. (with strong results). We're falling behind.
