Study the Danish economy and how it got to be there. You're doing an economics degree over there, any academic worth his salt will show you just how much socialist and social democratic policies have shaped the country into pretty much the closest thing we've got to Utopia on this planet right now (and yes I am aware of the provenance of that name. Instead of reading Rand in school, I read More and Plato).
This is actually the whole reason I'm studying in Denmark - because I studied their society in a transportation geography class and thought it was brilliant. I'm not doing an econ degree, I'm majoring in Business and Environment because I've made it my goal in life to practically implement sustainability. So I study socialism and these systems extensively - it's the other half of my degree. I just don't have faith in NGOs and democracy because I've seen them fail at accomplishing these things that I value so much, and I don't want to be powerless, so I'm learning business too.

If you actually disagree with my arguments, then address those, but calling me out for being young and stereotyping me is not something I can comment on.
