The Sweden Syndrome: How Elites Commit National Self-Destruction - Paperback

by Karl-Olov Arnstberg (Author)

The present work is a thorough, clinical description of the symptoms and etiology of what the author calls 'the Sweden syndrome'. Arnstberg traces the historical process that converted Sweden from a nationalistic Folkhemmet which treated the country like a family into a multicultural administrative zone that perversely prides itself on privileging the foreigner over the native. The book is called The Sweden Syndrome, but the broad stokes of the disease that Arnstberg describes can be seen in practically every Western country. Arnstberg's concise analysis of this complex mass psychosis is a service not only to the present, but to future generations. - John Carter
