Denmark

Hans Christian Andersen sees virtues in making small gifts. Poul Schlüter defines Denmark’s national specificity. Concerning taxation, Poul Martin Møller rightly considers that: “The money is best in the citizens’ pockets”. As early as 1939, the rector and historian Aagot Lading demanded “equal pay for equal work”. A Danish proverb makes the point that if all will be masters, who will carry the sack.
