Planning and Productivity in Sweden

by H.G. Jones

Overview

Planning and Productivity in Sweden (1976) examines the success of Sweden’s economy and working arrangements, detailing how a resource-poor nation came to achieve such high living standards. The growth in prosperity was no accident, but involved conscious acts of policy by management, by unions, and occasionally by government.
