The Swedish election of 1973 resulted in a stalemate situation in parliament, 175/175. At the same time, Opec I created record high inflation and foreboded an economic crisis. This led to the “Haga agreement” between the Social Democrat government and the Liberal party (Fp), with the purpose of showing that the country could be responsibly governed. In this book in honor of the liberal leader Gunnar Helén, Hans Bergström debunks myths about the agreement. Among them is the claim that Helén supported a socialist type of “wage earner funds”.
