The first book in the Post-War series How Moscow deceived the West in 1945 is available at: https://powojnie.sklep.pl #History #Powojnie Norway is one of the richest countries in the world. At the end of the 60s, the country, whose GDP was already quite high, became even richer, thanks to the discovered oil and gas deposits. The Norwegian authorities managed this success perfectly. They divided the Norwegian Continental Shelf into small blocks, issuing licenses to private companies. However, Norway always had a smaller or larger share in the income from the extracted deposits. In addition, the state-owned company Statoil was quickly established, which over time dominated the extraction of raw materials in this part of the world. The Norwegians used American companies to learn how to extract oil. The history of how they became an oil tycoon not only in Europe and the world is a demonstration of healthy state interventionism. Instead of going to American corporations, the money went to the pockets of Norwegian citizens. It is thanks to the oil and gas deposits that Norway became a welfare state in the dimension it is today. Most of the materials used in the film come from the public domain.
