If you would read the articles you would see that they emphasize the change in policy in the last 20 years. That is the main thing I think you should take away from them - it is clear to me when the following outside discourse that the view of politics in Sweden is coloured by how it worked 40-20 years ago. It works radically different now, and the change started somewhere between 1990 and 1994 - coinciding with first a tax reform, then 3 year conservative-liberal government and a banking crisis. I don't mean that one caused the other, but these reforms together put Sweden on a path that obviously is not that well known abroad.
