Swedish economic history before the 1980s
The early days of economic history in Sweden — the many scattered, more or less important, contributions of the 19th century — have never been investigated. Hans Forssell's remarkable work on the 16th century has won well-deserved fame, but his was not an isolated case. Around the turn of the century, interest in the subject area increased, in Sweden as elsewhere. There were a few dissertations, formally in economics or in history (for instance, …
Skandinaviska Banken i del svenska bankväsendets historia 1914 –1939
De norske fiskeriers historie, 1815-80
A travel diary of an industrial spy
During the eighteenth-century golden age of the Swedish iron industry, the Swedish Board of Mining and the Iron Bureau (the Ironmasters' Association) sent a series of well-trained specialists to Great Britain to study the iron industry and its market. Eric T. Svedenstierna, whose description of a journey through the United Kingdom in 1802–03 is now published in an English translation, was one of these
Ernest Thiel, Finansman i genombrottsti
The decades immediately before and after 1900 were a ‘take-off’ period in the history of Swedish merchant banks; their total assets rose from 650 million Swedish kronor in 1890 to 3,000 million in 1913. Simultaneously, however, the vigorous industrial expansion offered great opportunities for ingenious private financiers. One of their fields was the financing of innovations or new business combinations which, despite the apparent promise of a pro…
Economic policy in Scandinavia during the inter-war period
The history of the Western economy, and especially of Western economic policy, during the inter-war period shows some peculiar features. On the one hand it was largely a period of disappointment and frustration in which earlier dreams of economic growth and its positive social effects were not fulfilled, or fulfilled only spasmodically. Resources, especially labour, were far from fully utilised and practical measures of economic policy often foll…
I omvandlingens tjanst
Public finance and the national economy in early sixteenth century Sweden
Sources in public archives for Swedish economic history over the last four centuries are more homogeneous, frequently more reliable and, in relation to the subjects treated, more abundant than those of most other countries. For the earlier centuries the reverse is true: source material for economic history is both scantier and less uniform, and the path to quantitative determination is longer and more difficult than in many other countries. Betwe…
Foreign markets for Swedish iron in the 18th century
At the beginning of the 18th century, Sweden had a dominating position in the European iron trade. A century later, that position was lost for ever. Dominance and decline have naturally both called for explanation and research by Swedish historians: in some aspects of their work they have been greatly aided by the fact that Swedish statistics both of iron production and of iron exports are unusually good. Bar iron was by far the most important it…
