Praise
“This will be the standard international history of the world’s most successful social democracy.”
—Göran Therborn, author, most recently of Inequality and the Labyrinths of Democracy
“Of all the experiments in socialism undertaken during the twentieth century, one has often been singled out as the best model for the twenty-first: reformist Sweden. How accurate is that? In this elegant chronicle, the foremost historian of Swedish social democracy punctures the illusions. Whatever was good in Sweden was built by popular movements: but the party ended up destroying it. Reformism is a storehouse of mistakes, from which a left for a future needs to learn, and there is no better introduction than this book.”
—Andreas Malm
