Abstract: Abstract. Sweden's sexual freedom and its Welfare State are said by the country's critics to have produced widespread social malaise characterized by loss of individual initiative, capitalist incentive and religious belief and a coincident rise in social problems. By comparative analysis of social indicators, this Investigation finds that, on the contrary, Sweden remains a capitalistic country in the forefront of progressive reform with an unmatched annual output of goods and services per capita.
