<p>In the 1950s, GÃ¶sta 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 GÃ¶sta 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.</p>

Unequal Treatment (Routledge Revivals)

This book, written by two leading Swedish economists and first published in 1984, constitutes a threefold contribution to the expanding field of economic discrimination. In the first place, it summarizes different approaches to the economics of discrimination, from the beginning of the British debate on equal pay in the 1890s onwards. Secondly, the book contains analytical chapters that, taking the theory originated by Gary Becker as their point of departure, critique and develop the Beckerian theory in a number of ways; in particular, the phenomenon known as crowding is investigated in different models. Finally, the theories thus developed are applied to a concrete case of discrimination: that of apartheid in South Africa. This is a fascinating title that will be of value to any economics students researching the development of discrimination theory during the twentieth century in particular.
