Most popular books from 1926.
The Plumed Serpent, by D.H. Lawrence, is on there.
But if the daughter read it twice… It might be something from 1925 or 1924. Nothing jumps out from 1925 but 1924 has both Naomi and The Constant Nymph? Maybe?
Or, hell, it could be Ulysses.

The EU's been around for 20, the US has been around for 250.

So, I'm actually going to guess by 2240, if we haven't baked the planet, most social welfare programs will be EU-wide

See, the whole problem with the "we need a monoculture for a welfare state" is the part of the white population that's most supportive of the welfare state is...white people who live in multicultural areas.

So, the problem isn't the multicultural areas where the non-white people are, but the non-multicultural parts that are scared of the non-white people.

What is interesting is to see how the demand for conformance to the norms of a dominant culture was at one time the bedrock of conservative thought, and now it is the thing they yelp about the loudest.

ETA: Which is to say, a monoculture has no need for "classical liberalism".

+ I think the general argument is that your given electorate will be pretty generous when they view the recipients as being "us" rather than "them" [. . .]

I think the general argument is that your given electorate will be pretty generous when they view the recipients as being "us" rather than "them" which a monoculture lends itself to and but they get mighty stingy when they view the taxpayers as "us" and the recipients as "them". Even the Scandinavian societies are having some serious difficulty with "them" immigrants.
I don't know how much weight I'd put into that argument myself- the Canadians manage the issue pretty well but then again Canada is more a neoliberal market society than social democratic society. I think the bigger ask for lefties is to be as light handed on business regulation as the Nordics are.

Does it have to do with "is" being very different from "ought"?

No man, lets do the full Monty.

Lets have economic freedom, plenty of resource extraction, and private ownership of capital along with the cradle to grave social welfare.

I'll leave it to others to figure out why monoculture is somehow the magic ingredient.

+ You skipped a step. “OK, lets have a Nordic style social welfare system.” Fine. That's lots of economic freedom, monoculturalism, and resource (i.e. oil) extraction. [. . .]

You skipped a step.

“OK, lets have a Nordic style social welfare system.”
Fine. That's lots of economic freedom, monoculturalism, and resource (i.e. oil) extraction. It's also private ownership of capital.

No, I don't want any of that. I want command and control Socialism but let's call it Nordic style anyway.
“That’s Socialism which never works!”

When Editors hear the Word 'Culture'...
