SWEDEN THE UNTOLD STORY – THE BOOK
In this witty and insightful book, Claudia Wallin crafts a powerful discourse, highlighting the often-surprising strictures and constraints on those holding public office in Sweden. Welcome to the Swedish reality of government ministers commuting by bus, living in modest apartments and working from simple offices. No one in public life earns an obscene multiple-digit salary. Indeed, at the local level, Swedish councillors are not even paid, nor do they have the right to an office – they work from home.
