What does the rise of the new right mean for Nordic universities?

An excellent article painting the same picture as in many countries where a socio-cultural elitist HE sector gets increasingly out of touch with normal folk and indeed belittles them - then, via populist politics, the little people rebel… Read Matthew Goodwin’s latest book (‘Voices, Values, Virtues…’) to gain an understanding of what is happening as this New Elite of virtue-signalling credential-gathering hyper-liberals begins - to some extent - to be challenged in the USA, UK and (as detailed in the article) now even in the Nordics. And BTW can the article be accurate? - finish secondary education at 20 (!), then a couple of gap-years, next presumably a 4-year first degree if not a one or two year Masters? - 26/27 before being of any productive use to the economy?! Or perhaps better a prolonged child-hood rather than counting as unemployed from an earlier point? Still Norway as an oil-rich nation can afford such a regime unlike most OECD counties wrestling with the cost of modern mass HE.

Why have populists suceeded in making an issue out of migration. Immigrants should boost the economy - they must eat, live somewhere, wear clothes, and this will boost the host country GDP. If they work, even more eocnomic gains - nobody employs anybody unless their labour is worth more than their pay. So immigration should make all host-country people better off. Yes, less space per person, but then space is a poor guide to prosperity and wll-being - compare The Netherlands to Mongolia, or 12 c UK to 21 c UK.The Problem Is, these eocnomic gains have gone, not to all, but to a small elite, the employers, who beoing wealthy gain from lower wages and higher house prices (ordinary householders do not gain as they sell one overpriced house but must buy another; wealthy speculators who can buy and sell houses they don't live in do gain). So this misallocation of economic gains from immigration makes people resentful, but they don;t resent the maldistribution, they resent the migrants. How about using the 'tax system' to achieve this correction? Why don't the Left support this tax redistribution - maybe because many socialists are actually rather wealthy and fear it?
