An Economic History of Sweden [Paperback]

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 and original research, An Economic History of Sweden represents an invaluable resource for both economic historians and students of economic theory.Introduction 1.
