ARI KOKKO GIVES A BROAD REVIEW OF THE SWEDISH MODEL
According to Kokko, the main characteristics of ‘the Swedish model’ are arguably related to the country’s knowledge-intensive industry and its advanced welfare state. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the historical development of these two features of the Swedish economy. The final part suggests some policy conclusions for today’s developing countries and emerging economies.

IS SWEDEN STILLTHE MIDDLE WAY?
Marquis W. Childs book got a tremendous amount of attention in the 1930's, Sweden: The Middle Way. The book’s thesis was, in short, that Sweden had found a uniquely effective way to deal with social and economic problems, a way that, according to Childs, put Sweden between the United States’ ”concentration of economic power in the hands of a few men” and ”the trials and hardships in Russia.” Sweden still is one of the most competitive economies. Author and journalist Per T Ohlsson notes in this speech that many Swedes are slowly starting to realize that no country, not even Sweden, is an island and that we do have some rather grave problems that have to be overcome, regardless of who’s in government, if we wish to maintain our competitive status and our social cohesion.
