The article looks at how taxes in Sweden have changed from 1862 to 2013. It focuses on different types of taxes like income, consumption, and wealth taxes. Over time, Sweden started using more broad-based taxes like income taxes and less visible taxes like social security contributions. The amount of taxes compared to the country's income went up a lot from the 1930s to the 1980s, but then went down again. The study was done by the Research Institute of Industrial Economics and gives a detailed look at how Sweden's tax system evolved over time.
