Dear John,

Despite mischaracterizations by advocates of socialism outside of Sweden, the country is not socialist.

In fact, it has a long history of comparatively small government, open markets, and competition!

The next book in the Realities of Socialism series – a project of the Fraser Institute working in partnership with think tanks in the U.S., Australia, and the U.K. – looks at Sweden.

All too often, people point to Sweden as an exemplary modern socialist state, but the truth is Sweden is not socialist at all.

It is true that Sweden experimented with socialist policies in the 70s and 80s – and they failed.

For the past 30 years, the country has once again largely embraced the private sector and capitalism.

This new book will be released next month. But you can dive into Sweden's history of experimentation with socialism right now, by checking out the new videos and infographics at RealitiesOfSocialism.org [[link removed]].

And don't forget to share this content on social media!

Sincerely,

Niels Veldhuis

President
