The Swedish Model

That is something that all of us Swedes have grown up with. The government take care of all your needs from the cradle to the grave. Well, over the last couple of years this model have been falling a part more and more. I have for myself never understood how one could expect that the government should take care of you and your needs. It’s my life then it’s my responsibility. Not somebody else.

In the latest issue of National Interest,
Johan Norberg, a Swedish writer and senior fellow at the Centre for the New Europe, points out very critical and correctly why the Swedish Model doesn’t work anymore. A very interesting article in times of election here in Sweden.
