Bio
Sweden is often used as an example that a heavy dose of socialism can indeed be combined with a capitalist market. The result, it is said, is a wealthy society with personal freedom, rock-solid democracy and extensive safety nets for those who become sick, unemployed, or otherwise down on their luck.
As an American citizen currently living in Sweden, I find that the simplistic view outlined above is rather outdated.
The purpose of this blog is to highlight some of the news stories that don't show up under the International News-section of your newspaper, yet might be of interest for your investment decisions, understanding of foreign affairs in the Nordic region, or perhaps just your vacation plans.
