The Wallenberg Dynasty: Wealth and Power in Sweden

This chapter investigates the Wallenberg family's substantial economic influence in Sweden, juxtaposing the nation's egalitarian ideals with the concentration of wealth among industrial dynasties. It critiques the inadequacy of statistical measures of inequality while exploring the family's historical and contemporary ties to Sweden's political economy. The discussion further examines the implications of wealth distribution, management structures, and the dynamics of succession within both families and organizations.
