Back. During my parenthood leave for two weeks, spent with my family at a significantly warmer place than Sweden, a few things were published, that may be worth mentioning:

A summary of my previous speech at the Heritage Foundation, made from a transcript, was published as a main op-ed in the Estonian Business daily Aripaev, read it here.

On the eve of the EU Summit, the second biggest daily in the Netherlands, NRC Handelsblad, published a two-page interview with me about my book and the European Social Model. Read the first part here and the second one here.
