Once heralded in the 1950s and 1960s as a model welfare state,
Sweden is now in transition and in trouble since its economic
plunge in the early 1990s.
This volume presents ten essays that examine Sweden's economic
problems from a U.S. perspective. Exploring such diverse topics as
income equalization and efficiency, welfare and tax policy, wage
determination and unemployment, and international competitiveness
and growth, they consider how Sweden's welfare state succeeded in
eliminating poverty and became a role model for other countries.
They then reflect on Sweden's past economic problems, such as the
increase in government spending and the fall in industrial
productivity, warning of problems to come. Finally they review the
consequences of the collapse of Sweden's economy in the early
1990s, exploring the implications of its efforts to reform its
welfare state and reestablish a healthy economy.
This volume will be of interest to policymakers and analysts,
social scientists, and economists interested in welfare states.
