The country, at least since the publication of Marquis Childs's book \u003ci\u003eSweden: The Middle Way \u003c\/i\u003e in 1936, has become synonymous with the idea of a welfare state or cradle-to-grave social security. But accurate, unbiased information about the development of modern Sweden has been scanty, and this book is designed to fill the gap.\u003c\/p\u003e Thirteen Swedish scholars--historians, political scientists, sociologists, and an economist--look at particular aspects of Swedish history over the last two centuries. Steven Koblik, the editor, provides an extensive general introduction as well as brief introductions as background for each of the essays.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steven Koblik\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816607664\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816607662\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/1975\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Steven Koblik","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44634256605439,"sku":"9780816607662","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_030164cf-82b5-4bce-ba96-681e642506ba.jpg?v=1703588364","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/swedens-development-from-poverty-to-steven-koblik-9780816607662","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
