Interesting, frightening but exaggerated,

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.
