By the end of the article he says that, if he took the job, he'd work 40 hours a day and get nothing out of it that he does not already have. Fine; it's Sweden, I believe it (even though many people will say that this is exactly what is bringing Sweden down, but that's another subject). What baffles me is how a person can actually believe that this is an universal truth, some kind of take away message. Imagine being so alienated that you believe anyone anywhere can simply stop working and go live safely in the woods with 5 kids without starving to death.
