Description

For nearly two generations, social commentators and scholars have seen in Sweden a mirror of their own hopes and fears for the future. Proponents of economic and social democracy have been attracted by Sweden's egalitarian policies, while libertarians have expressed alarm at its corporatism and statism. In this account of Sweden's successful individual rights and collective responsibility, and its balance between equitable distribution and economic efficiency, Henry Milner portrays social democracy as a way of life. He sees it as a functioning social system embodying the principles of economic well-being, fair remuneration for work, social solidarity, democracy, participation, access to information, and respect for the environment in the way its members choose to act towards each other and live their lives.Table of ContentPreface; Introduction; The economics of social democracy; Values and politics; Organizations and collective bargaining; Equality and mobility on the Swedish labour market; Capital investment and industrial democracy; The dissemination of knowledge; Social policy and social democracy; Conclusion
