Steven Brint "Schools and Societies" 1998

Sweden is not a Paradise…although it sounds like that from the article.
Having such advance social services, and reducing the earning gap brought about many other problems.Being involved with Swedish companies over the years one can not but notices the poor state of their personal being.
- The number of suicide cases is just unbelievable!
- The percentage of the population who are alcoholics or having drinking problems is astonishing!
- Mumber of working days lost due to health problems is very high!

Bottom line is, as far as I am concern, Sweden just looks better from outside….the truth is that I would NEVER live there. (Visiting is another story….HO!!! The “shveriyot”!!!)

i spoke to a swedish guy via icq and he said the swediot are only good for journal pictures, actually they are very cold .

i agree with your notes about sweeden.
