The Swedish Secret: What the United States Can Learn from Sweden's Story

I have been wanting to read a book like this for a long time so that I could understand why my family in Sweden were content and happy with living in what Americans call a socialist country. After reading this book things have become very clear to me. As an American we see where are values are and compare them to Sweden. We seem to want everything of money value but do not want to pay for it. Sweden seems to know what is valuable ( family-friends-land-education-health-no unnecessary wars-value of women in politics-and more fairly run elections) and are willing to pay higher taxes so that everyone is equal and treated that way. I wish everyone would read this book and realize as much as we hate high taxes, nothing comes free and how important it is to help everyone have a fair and decent life.
