Chapter Chapter 14 in Bo Södersten from Left to Right, 2022, pp 105-112 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The chapter examines a Bo Södersten’s views of the Swedish public sector, which he thought was overgrown. High taxes resulted in nothing but low-productive public jobs. The “nourishing” private sector had to feed a “draining” public sector—a view that caused a lot of criticism. The chapter also contains Bo’s suggestions for reform of the Swedish pension system—an essential part of the public sector.
