About the Author:
"Excellent....Milner set the work at a readable level for undergraduates....He does a wonderful job bringing in Swedish history to account for the welfare state, and his 6-point 'definition' is superb."--Byron Nordstrom, Gustavus Adolphus College
"Milner's interesting book seeks to explain what he calls the 'Swedish paradox'--how the country combines economic efficiency in an internationally competitive world with a sense of equality based on common shared values of cooperation and compromise."--Financial Times
"Increasingly, Sweden's public policies are viewed as a model for other countries to emulate. Henry Milner's critical evaluation of Swedish social democracy in practice is a much needed, and highly valuable work--and it could not be more timely as economic and social reform sweeps through Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. I highly recommend this work."--Derek Shearer, Occidental College, Los Angeles
"An excellent advanced study of the political-economic system of Sweden, well grounded in its history and culture. An excellent book for graduate courses and very advanced undergraduates."--Ralph E. Bunch, Portland State University
"An excellent synthesis of Swedish politics, economics, and society. Sweden shows that there is more than one route to a dynamic economy coupled with a sustainable society, and Professor Milner shows us why."--Robert Kuttner
Professor of Political Science, at Vanier College, Quebec, Canada
