- Unions and employers have generally resisted statutory wages because they shift power away from negotiated settlements.
- A national minimum can be too high for some regions or sectors and too low for others.
- Income taxes for high earners should be lowered to encourage growth.
- The state should own the dominant electricity producers and grid operators.
- Sweden should reintroduce a wealth tax on individuals with assets above 50 million SEK.
