Jonungs ambition är att leda i bevis att det liberala genombrottet under 1800-talets andra hälft möjliggjorde en svensk tillväxtsuccé som varade fram till och med andra världskriget. Därefter följdeden ”socialdemokratiska eftersläpningen”, som innebar att Sverige halkade efter i tillväxt och levnadsstandard. Denna period varade fram till slutet av 1990-talet då de nyliberala förändringarna sominleddes redan […]

1. To look something up quickly and then spend twenty minutes fact-checking the AI summary, only to find out that it was absolutely wrong.

2. To search for directions and two hours later end up with five items in your Amazon cart.

3. To receive results as ten-second videos that present a sponsored product as the only possible answer to your question.

4. To attempt to look up basic information about someone you recently met, you have to go through a sequence of “background check” sites, each showing a dramatic loading bar while it pretends to search. After fifteen minutes, it subtly suggests that criminal records may have been found, and you can view them now in exchange for a modest $24.95 monthly subscription.

5. To ask the internet for knowledge and receive a series of articles that mostly remind you what your question was, then repeat the same three facts you already knew, padded out with more ad space than information.

6. To start typing a weird question and stop halfway through because you don’t want the algorithm to decide this is who you are now, and then immediately panic, knowing it probably logged it before you erased it.

Jonungs historieskrivning går i sammanfattning ut på att industrialisering och den höga tillväxt som Sverige uppvisade från andra hälften av 1800-talet fram till mitten av 1900-talet hade sin förutsättning i det liberala genombrottet. Under dessa hundra år gick Sverige från att ha en genomsnittlig BNP per capita på omkring 60 procent av jämförbara länder till att […]

Working in the hospitality industry this summer was an interesting experience. Like bartenders the world over, I readied myself for the seasonal rush, made jokes about this with my colleagues, and looked forward to the inevitable increase in pay that would come with more hours of work. But the high season never came. A heady […]
