Do you want another way than a Sweden where the right has repeatedly said no to voting rights, good jobs for everyone, low rents, vacations, welfare and equality? Read “Survival – for society and people”. The book shows how the state can create money, why welfare is not unprofitable and why the inflation myth protects power at the expense of our industry, public health and nature. We need not high taxes for low and middle income earners but only the richer people are.
