Swedish wage compression in 1980s surpassed Soviet Union and UK levels, Stefan Schubert notes

Swedish wage compression in 1980s surpassed Soviet Union and UK levels, Stefan Schubert notes
Swedish wage compression outpaced UK

Stefan Schubert highlights that wage compression in Sweden during the 1980s was exceptionally high. According to Schubert, the degree of wage equality during this period in Sweden exceeded what is observed in both the Soviet Union and the UK today.

This comparison suggests that Sweden once experienced unusually narrow wage differences compared to contemporary examples.

Schubert has previously commented on trends in financial metrics. He noted that the Brent crude oil price exceeded $200 in 2008 in current dollars, questioning the use of non-inflation-adjusted figures. In another analysis, Schubert wrote that stock market criticism often mirrors broader debates about capitalism.
