Fences, redistribution and political corruption: a comparative sketch

Trip to Norway - for an Advanced Planning Visit within a Youth Exchange "Future of Europe" (EU Program "Youth in Action) - provoked some comparisons between this northern Kingdom, the United States and my native Ukraine. 

First time I was struck with the concept of fence-less community when in February 2012 during the Open World Program visit to Atlanta, Georgia, my host family mentioned that in their neighborhood one could not build fences, and that was considered normal.
