The Economist hyllar Sverige igen

The Economist har i nya numret återigen ett snudd på smickrande porträtt av Sverige. Rubriken är ”Sweden: The new model – A bit more unequal, a lot more efficient”.

Andra länder kan lära sig av Sverige, heter det.

”there are broader lessons. Sweden’s experience suggests that the welfare state can be trimmed by cutting transfers and maintaining progressive investment in social services, without allowing inequality to surge. And a revamp of the welfare state that encourages employment can boost growth while keeping income gaps to a minimum.”
