Description

In the 1950s, GAsta Rehn, one of the fathers of the 'Swedish Model' and the most important economic thinkers of the contemporary Scandinavian labour movement, together with Rudolf Meidner, developed one of the most influential economic models of the twentieth century - the 'Rehn Model'. The first single volume to provide a comprehensive introduction to the Rehn Model, its theory, applications and considerable impact in countries such as Sweden, The Netherlands, Austria, Canada and the UK, this text also shows how it can still make a useful contribution to the formulation of economic policy today. A full, annotated bibliography of the articles and other written contributions of GAsta Rehn makes this text an essential read for all those interested in the Swedish Model, labour market economics, economic policy and the ideas of an economist who guided a generation.
