An Economic History of Sweden (Hardcover)

This book represents the first recent attempt to provide a comprehensive treatment of Sweden's economic development since the middle of the 18th century. It traces the rapid industrialisation, the political currents and the social ambitions, that transformed Sweden from a backward agrarian economy into what is now regarded by many as a model welfare state. Based upon comprehensive research, "An Economic History of Sweden" represents an invaluable resource for both economic historians and students of economic theory. Its central narrative provides historical material reaching right up to the modern era, including an analysis of the more troubled recent past of the "Swedish Model." In addition, the authors discussion of the motors of Sweden's industrial development offers an important contribution to recent theoretical debate on the role of institutions for economic development and growth.
