This book explores the relationship between democracy and the
economy in contemporary political thought and policy-making. Using
the concepts of economic, industrial and enterprise democracy, the
author focuses on the history of Finland and Sweden during the
latter part of the twentieth century. The three concepts are
discussed in relation to various political groups, such as social
democrats, conservatives and liberals, and the reforms that they
were associated with, painting a picture of changing economic
thought in the Nordic countries, and the West more generally.
Arguing that the concept of democracy has evolved from
representative parliamentary democracy towards 'participation' in
civil society, this book demonstrates how the ideal of individual
freedom and choice has surpassed collective decision-making. These
shared characteristics between Finland, Sweden and other Western
countries challenge the view that the Nordic countries have been
exceptional in resisting neoliberalism. In fact, as this book
shows, neoliberalism has been influential to the Nordics since the
1970s. Offering an innovative and conceptual perspective on
European political history, this book will appeal to scholars
interested in Nordic political history and modern European history
more generally.
