The book highlights the determinants of long term growth, the role of innovations and entrepreneurs as well as the interplay between different sectors of the economy over major epochs. The epochal shifts are presented in a long wave pattern with global crises as decisive turnings points. The theoretical approach is integrated into a broad description of the historical evolution from the agricultural society over industrialization up to the present service and IT-oriented society. The book is based on a rich and detailed quantitative material from research over the past decades with consecutive time series over production volumes, employment, productivity, investments etc. for sectors and branches covering the whole economy, even including estimates of non-marketed domestic work. It is also based on a broad literature from Swedish historiography with details on the individual level of firms, innovators and entrepreneurs. Focus is upon the interplay between technological, economic and social change where a number of broad themes are treated with a general interest to historians or economists, e.g. the role of social change and domestic markets versus international specialisation and exports as dynamic factors in Swedish economic growth. Epochs with different structures appears as long waves, demarcated by international or global crises around 1850, 1890, 1930, 1975 and apparently once again around 2010. A particular perspective is upon radical innovations that form expansive development blocks and create a basis for international specialisation within each epoch"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aRoutledge explorations in economic history ;$v54. 606 $aEconomic development$zSweden 607 $aSweden$xEconomic conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEconomic development 676 $a330.9485 700 $aSchon$b Lennart$f1946-,$0954861 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451628203321 996 $aAn economic history of modern Sweden$92159709 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00917nam0-22003011i-450 001 990004209000403321 005 20240711152145.0 035 $a000420900 035 $aFED01000420900 035 $a(Aleph)000420900FED01 035 $a000420900 100 $a19990604d1967----km-y0itay50------ba 101 0 $aeng 102 $aGB 105 $ay-------001yy 200 1 $a<>lay of Havelok the dane$ere-edited from ms.
