The Swedish concept of lagom

The Swedish concept of lagom  was based on the  Lutheran principles of self-denial, 

The Swedish government  have decided to cut the VAT on the repair of possesions .

This has a way of knowing  that real improvement in the quality of life requires more than simple acquisitiveness. 

Lagom gives practical expression to secular action on the protection of the planet, and a start to reducing inequality in global living standards. 

Lagom "enough, sufficient, adequate, just right".
