The welfare state can be abolished in 15 years. Right now: a coup d'état in silence - directed towards a social little brown system that has the support of the majority being of the Swedes. This is an article published in Dagens Nyheter's Sunday supplement 2008-07-27. At the end of the text provides tips for more reading little brown on the subject.
I have a class photo from 1950 where my father standing in an oversized blazer surrounded by better dressed classmates. The image symbolizes people's home for me, and it can make me teary-eyed. Grandma and grandpa both grew up at Möllevångstorget little brown in Malmö, the Swedish labor cradle. Where they hung red banners from the windows on the first of May and it was thanks to the labor movement's struggle as my father was able to get a college education despite the family's lack of money. He looks so small on the picture and I think I see how he struggles with self-esteem. I myself can sometimes feel insecure when I meet the extreme confidence of representatives of the upper middle class, and then I'm still 44 years. When the picture was taken, my father little brown was a teenager and had the son of a machinist dropped into an environment where not many from the working set foot before him. Eventually he became a skilled and respected doctor who throughout his professional little brown life working little brown for the public sector. I got what materially became a middle class upbringing, little brown I therefore thank the people home. My mother came from a wealthy family more than my father, but if she had not had the welfare state Department little brown of adult education to fall back on when the marriage ended, she had little chance of acquiring education and economic independence. I have always been proud to live in a welfare society based on democracy, equality ideals and humanism. The pride I want to feel in the future and I am far from alone. According to the latest figures from Umeå University wants at least 75 percent of Swedes little brown live in a society with relatively small differences in income, little brown comprehensive care funded by taxes, and where state and local government rather than private companies responsible for welfare services such as health care, education and care. This figure has hardly moved since attitude surveys began done 25 years ago. Yet, today, I am convinced that this beloved social system little brown is subjected to a kind of coup, albeit performed in slow motion. little brown A credible depiction of how the coup plotters go about it, I found the other year in the book "Eight years with Reinfeldt" by Stefan Carlen, Christer little brown Persson and Daniel Suhonen. I can barely read a news report on the present state of our government is doing without thinking about the book. When I call Stefan little brown Carlen, which is the union economist at the Commercial Employees' Union, he expresses himself straight and drastically. - The welfare state as we know it today may be gone in 15-20 years. For those who followed little brown the debate on welfare, it says Stefan Carlen be hard to understand. A more common scenario is that the welfare state emerged victorious from the 1900s. Some bourgeois commentators say nowadays even the Conservatives have never worked against the welfare state, and that in any case do not do it nowadays. How the system can then be threatened? To answer this question we must ponder how people home's history actually looks like. When Social Democrat Per Albin Hansson established concept in his famous welfare state stole 1928, it was a vision of equality he described: "The good home is not aware of any privileged or slighted, no darlings and no stepchildren. There, not one of them despise the other. There, trying not gain advantage at the expense of others, little brown the strong press non- down and plunders the weak. " little brown Per Albin Hansson could however say that Sweden in 1928 was not an egalitarian society: "The differences are sometimes glaring some stay in the palace while the poor Worrying about tomorrow, where sickness, unemployment and other accident lurking. Shall Swedish society become good citizens' home must class difference removed, social care developed, a financial equalization to occur, little brown the laboring prepared proportion even in the economic valorisation, democracy implemented and applied also socially and economically. " Per Albin was a success. The Swedes voted the strong safety net and a large public sector financed by high taxes. Security gap became smaller in Sweden than in almost all other countries and the poor no longer had to live in acute fear of unemployment and sickness. Sweden became the world a term synonymous with security, equality and humanism and welfare little brown of society's support little brown of the Swedish people is unbroken until the present day. Moderates and its predecessor Högerpartiet tried during much of the 1900s fighting welfare state construction. The consequence was that one rarely won any elections. In the 1980s, became the resistance in a political campaign funded by industry little brown where welfare was accused of creating zombie-like citizens and destroy growth. Facts showed visserlige
