Sweden

Chapter 7 in Can the Welfare State Compete?, 1991, pp 229-269 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In 1986–1987, the Social Democratically governed Swedish welfare state appeared as a strange, fascinating paradox to an international opinion of business journalism and liberal economics. This new picture took off in the 4 August 1986 issue of the American Business Week, featuring an article on ‘How Sweden became Europe’s industrial powerhouse’, subtitled, ‘Ten years ago it was “the sickest of sick men”, now it’s the envy of the continent’.
