Nordic society seems to be governed by a set of unspoken rules on how to behave around others. These rules or ”laws” were first articulated by the Danish author, Aksel Sandemose in a novel that described life in a fictional town called Jante, ruled by a set of ten laws. Fiona McKinna of Living a Nordic Life blog and podcast discusses what Jante’s Laws (Janteloven) are and how they are strictures on Nordic society today.
