 Swedish Model - Complete Text
Swedish economic historians talk of four periods of capitalism: Classic Capitalism from 1840 to 1890; Organised Capitalism from 1890 to 1939; Participatory Capitalism from 1945 to 1970; and Corporate Capitalism from 1970 onwards.
The Swedish Social Democrats were in a position to implement these ideas as early as the 1930s which would have made them the first government in Europe to embrace the new orthodoxy which has subsequently come to be known as Keynsianism.
The Swedish unions lost the argument and as a result the oft-disputed Paragraph 34 was included in the Saltsjöbaden Agreement, reserving for management the right to determine the breakdown of work in the work place.
