Seems to suggest that "...certain cultural norms dating back to the
small agrarian villages... asserted conformity and egalitarianism over
individualism [and] the welfare state was built much thanks to the
ruling party being the Swedish Social Democratic Party, the large
unions that encompassed almost the entire population, and the
industries that were similarly almost all unionized."
