In his words, everything works. When it doesn't work, you notice it (e.g. trains that arrive late). There is a solid working model and a strong degree of social trust, the magic stuff required for transactions to flow smoothly among people. Another major, of course, is the labor laws in Denmark - they are much more employer-friendly than most other places so, as an employer, you are more likely to invest in growth or new enterprises. Fogh Rasmussen also pointed out that the Danes are highly mobile as a workforce, changing jobs often because they feel secure enough to do so. That might sound bad for business, but it is the catalyst that renews and finetunes business models to keep Denmark ahead of the world.
