  How Much Looting? by Nima Sanandaji
Looking at the list of Swedish agencies and having some previous knowledge of what they spend their funds on, it is perhaps quite understandable that even our government did not know how many agencies existed — if you don’t do anything worth noticing nobody is going to be aware of your existence.
The actual number of Swedish bureaucrats might easily be over 10 percent of those active in the labor market.
As Swedish politicians keep creating new agencies so that their colleagues and friends can get easy top-paying jobs, the jungle of government agencies grows more rapid than anybody can keep track of.

 Axel von Fersen
In 1779 he entered the French military service Royal-Bavière[?], accompanied General Rochambeau to America as his adjutant, served as interpreter between him and General Washington, distinguished himself during the war with England, notably at the siege of Yorktown, 1781, and in 1785 was promoted to be colonel proprietaire of the regiment Royal-Suédois[?].
In 1797 Fersen was sent to the congress of Rastatt as the Swedish delegate, but in consequence of a protest from the French government, was not permitted to take part in it.
During the regency of the Duke Charles of Sudermania (1792-1796) Fersen, like all the other Gustavians, was in disgrace; but, on Gustav IV attaining his majority in 1796, he was welcomed back to court with open arms, and reinstated in all his offices and dignities.

 The Swedish Moslems' Demands to Swedish Political Parties
Swedish Muslims have become more and more politically aware of their rights in the community and now they wish for these rights to be respected.
The problems that exist in regards to the Swedish religious freedom is that it is a Pietistic coloured understanding of individualised religion, that lie behind the Swedish laws regarding religious freedom, whereas for the Muslim minority it is the collective expressions of the religion that are central.
That the Swedish legal system is democratic and non-discriminating must in practise mean that the system should protect all people and ethnicities in the country, but this isn't always enough as the Muslims see it.

 Building Automatic Solvency into U.S. Social Security: Insights from Sweden and Germany
Based on mid-range demographic and economic assumptions, the government projects that the life span adjustment will cut average monthly benefits for those continuing to retire at age 65 by 14 percent by 2055—which is equivalent to a delay in their retirement of 26 months.
Under this system, politicians can correctly claim to satisfy both the optimists who assume the input assumptions are too dire and the pessimists who worry that the projections will be worse than anticipated.
Although the Swedish approach has advantages, it may be more difficult to establish broad consensus in the United States on how to measure Social Security's "assets" and "liabilities." On the other hand, most Social Security experts will agree on the importance of the old-age dependency ratio in long-term financing of the program.
