'Pontusson's book does an excellent job in taking a critical look at Swedish investment politics. On the whole, this book is the best overall explanation of Swedish investment politics. It gives the reader a clear basis for understanding the rise of Swedish social democracy and provides a detailed examination of the developments of industrial policy, codetermination, and wage-earner funds.'—Contemporary Sociology
