Danish Economy

Paper Summary:

This paper contends that the Danish economy is one of the most prosperous ones in the world, due both to its strength at the national level and its power of adaptation at the international level, an objective accomplished through a prosperous international trade and through the influence of globalization.

From the Paper:

"One of the most important factors which have contributed to the great development of the Danish economy throughout the history is the geographical position of the country itself. As a follow-up, Denmark was considered to have one of the most dynamic economies in the world, next to the ones of Great Britain and the Netherlands, ever since the 16th century. In those times, like most of the other European countries, Denmark's economy was mainly based on agriculture. Even though, the big difference consisted in the fact that, despite other countries, Denmark has succeeded to develop this part of economy during the next century. Therefore, it could be said that the Danish economy was mainly based on agriculture until late 1950s, when it was replaced by the manufacturing industry. Thus an economic history of Denmark must take its point of departure in agricultural development for quite a long stretch of time. "
