This average congregation has approached congregational life in a not-so-average way. Each congregant is seen as a minister, bringing the good news of Christ to the community; the church has moved away from boards and committees, instead utilizing the people to form ministry teams; and they have revitalized the way they approach and practice worship and education.

This volume presents ten essays that examine Sweden's economic problems from a U.S. perspective. Exploring such diverse topics as income equalization and efficiency, welfare and tax policy, wage determination and unemployment, and international competitiveness and growth, they consider how Sweden's welfare state succeeded in eliminating poverty and became a role model for other countries. They then reflect on Sweden's past economic problems, such as the increase in government spending and the fall in industrial productivity, warning of problems to come. Finally they review the consequences of the collapse of Sweden's economy in the early 1990's, exploring the implications of its efforts to reform its welfare state and reestablish a healthy economy. This volume will be of interest to policymakers and analysts, social scientists, and economists interested in welfare states. 410 0$aNational Bureau of Economic Research conference report. 410 0$aConference report (National Bureau of Economic Research) 606 $aBusiness 606 $aSocial sciences 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / General$2bisacsh 607 $aSweden$xEconomic conditions$y1945-$vCongresses 615 0$aBusiness. 615 0$aSocial sciences. 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / General. 676 $a330.9485/059 701 $aFreeman$b Richard B$g(Richard Barry),$f1943-$0118990 701 $aTopel$b Robert H$0145544 701 $aSwedenborg$b Birgitta$f1941-$0145545 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910959582803321 996 $aThe welfare state in transition$94363093 997 $aUNINA
