Abstract

The political and economic background of the postwar regulatory regime in Sweden is discussed in this chapter. The great depression of the 1930s had profound effects on the political and economic establishments as well as on the theoretical framework of economics. In Sweden, these effects coincided with the beginning in 1932 of the long hegemonic position of the Social Democratic partySocial Democratic party as the dominant—though far from unrivaled—political force in Swedish society. The outbreak of World War II and the introduction of war finance further served to accentuate these tendencies. After the war, the Social Democratic government prepared to reshape Sweden into the “People’s Home” (Folkhemmet).
