Okay, take Germany: fully subsidized education, high taxation rate, socialized health care, important subsidies to public infrastructure.
England: public, socialized health care and social services.
Latin American countries: despite my personal opposition to many of the so-called populist governments, the trend in the last 10 years has been a reversion of neoliberal policies towards more social services and public investment, and it has been succesful in, at the very least, reversing 15 years of damage by American-imposed neoliberal policies.
The best the US has done in the past times is to reduce the amount of spending in social services and public infrastructure, creating the highest level of income inequality in the last few decades. Countries following the same policies are going the same way: a small cadre of extremely wealthy elites and a massive level of poverty elsewhere, with a minuscule middle class.
