A history of how Norway and Sweden became the envy of the modern
world This is the history of how two countries on the northern edge
of Europe built societies in the twentieth century that became
objects of inspiration and envy around the world. Francis
Sejersted, one of Scandinavia's leading historians, tells how
Norway and Sweden achieved a rare feat by realizing grand visions
of societies that combine stability, prosperity, and social
welfare. It is a history that holds many valuable lessons today, at
a time of renewed interest in the Scandinavian model. The book
tells the story of social democracy from the separation of Norway
and Sweden in 1905 through the end of the century, tracing its
development from revolutionary beginnings through postwar triumph,
as it became a hegemonic social order that left its stamp on every
sector of society, the economy, welfare, culture, education, and
family. The book also tells how in the 1980s, partly in reaction to
the strong state, a freedom and rights revolution led to a partial
erosion of social democracy. Yet despite the fracturing of
consensus and the many economic and social challenges facing Norway
and Sweden today, the achievement of their welfare states remains
largely intact.
