Of course, the real reason for the generalized fears that are now turned in the direction of xenophobia and nationalism is the fact that inequality has risen faster in Sweden than in any other OECD country in the last 3 decades. A virtually complete abandonment of social housing policies with a severe housing shortage and skyrocketing prices and rents as a result, the world’s most neoliberal, for-profit school system (basically a copy of Pinochet’s system that has since been scrapped in Chile) and which foreseeably has led to segregation and a drop in results for everyone, zero taxes on inheritance and wealth, corporate taxes almost as low as in Ireland, and so on.
