Book release: "I imperialismens kölvatten"

Sweden is a rich country and often described as a well-functioning welfare state. But its economic development is also tied to early colonialism, iron-ore exports to Germany during World War II, a strong weapons' industry, and multinational corporations such as H&M, Volvo, and Ikea.

For hundreds of years, Sweden has profited from natural resources and labor power in other countries. In order to understand Sweden's economy and politics, a global perspective is mandatory.
