A seminal book, in that it was one of the first to espouse the "Scandinavian Model" in the United States. In essence, a journalist's account of the co-operative movement in Sweden (and, to a certain extent, Denmark), and the state-owned business sector in Sweden. The book is almost completely uncritical of the movements; the connection with the long-standing Social Democratic Party is dismissed in one paragraph, even though it notes that the personnel for the co-operatives and the personnel for the SDP have a heavy degree of overlap. "Trusts" are excoriated, with the co-op's actions against them cheered, but some of the coercion used by the state to gain monopolies (especially in the liquor trade) go unremarked. Interesting in some respects, but also a relic of its Depression-era times. Marquis was also very pro-FDR, and I think this influenced the book. A curio, which should be taken with caution. Note that there are revised editions available, including a Penguin paperback that came out after the war (I read the original 1936 edition). ( ) 170. Sweden The Middle Way, by Marquis W. Childs (read 7 Jan 1945) My comment on this book the day I finished it was: "All right." I liked Marquis Childs, who was a newspaper columnist. As I remember this book he described the way Sweden pursued a path midway between capitalism and socialism. Knowing my political inclinations at the time I read it I believe I would have been somewhat approving of such a path. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
