Description

As neoliberalism faces challenges, this book examines whether a social democratic resurgence can offer a new path forward. By retrieving the political thought of Swedish politician Ernst Wigforss, the text explores the unrealized potential of social democracy. Wigforss utilized various schools of thought to create an alternative strategy that outflanked economic liberalism and allowed his party to lead Swedish politics for fifty years. This work details how Wigforss helped his country achieve affluence and social equity as converging goals rather than competing ones. The study looks at how OECD economies have evolved their political capacities, including the welfare state and corporatism. It is an essential read for those studying social and urban history or the evolution of political strategies in modern economies.
