Steig Larsson, Swedish politics and The Economist



The Economist felt compelled to declare; The Economist 18-09-2010 “The strange death of social-democratic Sweden” p14
“Outside Scandinavia, Sweden is generally known for two things: social democracy, and the books of Stieg Larrson.”

This prompted LBR to send the following letter;
Dear Editor,
you say that Sweden is only known for its social democracy and the books of Stieg Larsson. Have you never heard of Abba? Or were outrageous clothes and cheesy pop so de rigeur for The Economist offices in the 1970's, that Abba passed you by?
