Calling those countries mixed economies is disingenuous. They are for all intents and purposes socialist in the modern sense of the word. Yes they do allow private industry but they're incredibly pro-union, have high taxes, operate as welfare states, emphasize state ownership of natural resources, and generally put collectivism ahead of individualism.
