Abstract
Sweden recently installed one of the most right-wing governments in Europe, a four-party bloc including the contractual support of the far-right nationalist party, the Sweden Democrats. This article argues that citizens' lack of trust in a perceived inefficient economic and political system, one that therefore doesn't work for all citizens, is a dominant political factor all over Europe, including Sweden.
Keywords: political economy, political processes, government policy, relation of economics to social values
