	EH.Net Encyclopedia: The Economic History of Norway
		Norway, with its population of 4.6 million on the northern flank of Europe, is today one of the most wealthy nations in the world, both measured as GDP per capita and in capital stock.
		Norway adopted gold in January 1874, and due to the trade deficit, lack of gold and lack of capital, the country experienced a huge contraction in gold reserves and in the money stock.
		Norway suspended gold redemption in August 1914, and due to inflationary monetary policy during the war and in the first couple of years afterward, demand was very high.

		Politically, Norway had a reputation for advanced ideas and in the first nine years after 1905 the modern principles of political responsibility, state-ownership and social equality began to flourish.
		Norway's rivers, mountains and fjords also contributed to international awareness as salmon fishers, mountaineers and sailors, mostly wealthy nobility from England, discovered their unspoiled nature.
		Norway loyalties remained firmly with the west; in 1949 Norway joined NATO at the same time as Denmark and was later a recipient of Marshall Aid.

	Norwegian Immigration
		Emigration from Norway to the United States occurred in great numbers throughout the nineteenth century and into the early twentieth century.
		A laborer in Norway, for example, could earn $40 to $50 a year, while a person involved in such activities as crafts in an American city could earn as much $4 to $5 a day when times were good.
		Also influencing emigration from Norway to the United States was the promotion of the U.S. by emigration agents, newspapers and writers, and earlier settlers.

	The Emerging New Euroleft, Left, Europe, Hilary Wainwright (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		In last year’s Spanish elections the United Left lost all its seats in the Madrid Parliament, partly because it was insufficiently nimble in the face of the move left by José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero’s victorious Socialist Party, lifted into office on a wave of antiwar opinion.
		The Swedish Left Party is in disarray, while in Greece the relatively innovative Synaspismos is numerically overshadowed by the dogmatic and sectarian Greek Communist Party.
		As a result, left parties that have strong links with these movements are able to punch way beyond their electoral strength, making gains for political ideas that the movements and parties share.

	Norway Turns Left. Or Is it Right?
		After last Monday’s general elections Norway will be governed by a so-called “red-green” coalition of the social-democratic Workers' Party (Ap) of the future Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, the Socialist Left Party (SV) and the green Center Party (Sp).
		The “blue” coalition of the Right Party (H), the Christian-Democrat Party (Krf) of Prime Minister Kjell Magne Bondevik, and the Left Party (V) (which in Norway is a center-right party!) has been voted out of power.
		Norway is, indeed, the world’s most wealthy country, but unlike Iceland - the world’s second wealthiest country - the key to Norway’s wealth is oil and not the liberalisation of the economy.

		When he was arrested in August 1936, he had been in the southern part of Norway together with Scheflo, who was a political friend of his and the leader of the Norwegian Communist Party from 1923 until he was expelled or left in 1928 (as were most of our friends from the Comintern).
		The reason for Trotsky’s expulsion from Norway in 1936, as far as governmental opinions and facts are concerned, have now been published in a book in Norway, written by a Liberal researcher named Yngvar Ustvedt.

	Stalin's Secret Wars in Norway
		On the left, and even among many Communists, this was seen as a betrayal of the struggle against Nazism; thousands abandoned the Communist parties.
		The reaction of the Stalinists was, amazingly, to denounce the King and his government-in-exile for having "left Norway in the lurch." By June 20, the NKP was demanding the formation of a new government which would make peace with Germany.
		Resistance began to grow rapidly, spearheaded by the resignation of Norway's Supreme Court judges in December 1940 and the famous pastoral letter issued by the Norwegian churches in February 1941.

		Demographic, social, and economic changes in Norway, which led to an increase in the landless class and a surplus of labor, were "push" forces, though changes in American economic conditions generally led to fluctuations in immigration curves, indicating that "pull" factors were a stronger influence that "push" factors.
		In writing, those who had left were able to share their new experiences, as well as entice others to join them, and to maintain ties with family and friends.

	The Norwegian-Swedish War of 1814
		Sweden had fought on the side of Britain under the promise of receiving Norway, which at that time was a part of Denmark.
		The reason the Norwegians agreed to a cease-fire was that, although successful in minor battles, the Norwegian army was in to poor a shape to wage a large battle against the larger Swedish forces. But the fighting of August 1814, and the lives lost, was not in vain.
		Norway agreed to join in a union with Sweden, but retained a certain amount of self-autonomy, including being allowed to keep the constitution the brave founding fathers wrote up in a few days, and signed on May 17
