Riding the Wave
Book • 2021
In Riding the Wave, Torkil Lauesen examines how Sweden’s apparently social-democratic policies are embedded within global imperialist structures, arguing that welfare gains in core countries rely on unequal exchange and imperial rents.
He traces Sweden’s economic and political integration into capitalist international networks and critiques portrayals of the Swedish model as a pathway to socialism.
Lauesen situates national reforms within world-system dynamics, showing limits of welfare policies under global capitalism.
The book offers lessons for activists on the need to connect domestic struggles to anti-imperialist orientations.
