Book Description

November 23, 1998
Ulf Nilson ar en outsider i flera bemarkelser. Som driven skribent har han aldrig backat for obehagliga sanningar. Han har inte stamt in i den vanliga mediakoren utan har i stallet hojtat till nar andra sjungit falskt.

Som Sveriges framste utrikeskorrespondent har Ulf Nilson kunnat se Sverige, det svenska systemet och var roll i varlden fran en outsiders position. Han har iakttagit, rapporterat och analyserat fran metropoler som New York och Paris, fran skadeplatser for krig och svalt i diktaturer jorden runt.

"Sverige-- sluten anstalt" ar en betraktelse over Sveriges position idag, hur vi hammade dar, vad var framtid ar. En varlsdreporters samlade syn, uppbackad av en imponerande historisk och politisk bildning.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, frightening but exaggerated, January 27, 2002

This review is from: Sverige: Sluten Anstalt (Paperback)
'Sverige Sluten Anstalt' is Ulf Nilsson's attempt at 'The Rise and Fall of the Swedish Welfare State.' The book seems well-researched and does a decent job of discrediting part of the widespread belief that 'the swedish model' is a golden compromise between capitalism and socialism that should be admired and imitated. The book traces the rise of swedish social democracy in the early 30s through neutrality/collaboration in the Second World War to its expansion and peak in the early 1970s to its continuing downfall during the last 30 years. It is unfortunate that the author sometimes lets his very strong personal feelings take over and make the book less objective and its arguments weaker. Still, the book is a sobering and quite frightening account, short on optimism for the future, but never the less very interesting and informative. It's worth reading.
