Estonia was annexed by the USSR. It's only been a free economy since 1990. Norway didn't have to deal with that.
More importantly, oil. Norway has oil. Being one of the largest exporters of oil in the world gives it a huge boost.
So I don't really get your point. Estonia still has one of the fastest growing economies in the EU, which is what really matters.
You just did!
Demanding even a shred of evidence for a dubious claim is not the same as claiming that it doesn't work. It's a request for evidence, rather than just hot air.
As to Estonia, it's GDP per capita, is only 67% of the EU average and 17% of that of Norway, a socialist country. It does have high internet speeds, though, so you gotta get 'em props.
