It is a misconception that technological innovations are the basis of development and progress. This is wrong. Their existence is impossible without social innovations. This book is the second most translated book in the history of Finland after "Kalevala", the national epic of Finland. Poor and underdeveloped Finland was the first country to receive development assistance from UNICEF after World War II. But how did the country transition to its current prosperity? There are six "secrets": a) Autonomy of local government, decision-making at the municipal level and municipal taxation. b) Free education up to universities. c) Gender and generational equality. d) Hundreds of thousands of non-governmental organizations. e) Decision-making system with general consensus through the triptych of state-business-employees. f) Coalition governments. Finns trust public officials, public schools, and their neighbors. The spirit of everyday collaboration, such as "talkoot" (voluntary work), has not disappeared.
