What can we read to get a fair overview of Swedish culture with regards to intellectual curiousity, education, conformism (I've seen this claimed but have no firsthand experience), and so on?
Here is one starting point: "Small Facts and Large Issues: The Anthropology of Contemporary Scandinavian Society" : https://www.jstor.org/stable/2155886 https://www.jstor.org/stable/2155886 ... I haven't read it yet. I like the anthropological point of view though.

- BurningFrog 4y agoAs a Swede who emigrated to the US, my hunch is that we're open minded about different things. Or in other words, we have different "taboo areas" our minds won't stray from. I don't have examples. It's mostly a hunch.
