  Cancerfonden - About the Swedish Cancer Society
The Swedish Cancer Society was founded in 1951 to support cancer research since government subsidies were – and remain – only modest.
The aim of the annual Swedish Cancer Society Report is to strengthen opinion-leading efforts, and to contribute with the Society’s knowledge and experience in order to highlight problems in the area of cancer.
In an endeavour to resolve this situation, the Swedish Cancer Society together with the Red Cross has therefore financed a research post in the subject at the Stockholm School of Economics.

  Swedish krona - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The currency is sometimes informally referred to as the "Swedish crown" in English or the "couronne suédoise" in French.
Notwithstanding this, on 14 September 2003, a consultative Swedish referendum was held on the euro, the result of which was a strong rejection of the common currency.
The Swedish government has argued that such a line of action is possible since one of the requirements for eurozone membership is a prior two-year membership of the ERM II.

 The Obese Swedish Bureaucracy by Christian Sandström
The expansion of the already obese Swedish bureaucracy may be pathetic and entertaining, but it is really expensive and in the long run dangerous for individual freedom.
If the politicians eventually realize this, they will probably conduct the same procedure as always — conduct a commission which concludes that we need a couple of new government agencies in order to "control" the expansion of the bureaucracy and that new investigations must be conducted.
Hence, the huge Swedish bureaucracy will not decrease in size for the simple reason that politicians love politics and bureaucrats love their bureaucracy.
