あらすじ・解説
Sweden was once one of the most peaceful societies on earth. Indeed, when Paulina's family - Polish Jews and Holocaust survivors - arrived in Sweden as refugees, they thought of their new home as Utopia.
But Sweden's descent into unrest has been swift and steep. Today, street gangs and criminal clans dominate some 60 immigrant-majority areas, where the state struggles to maintain its monopoly of violence. Sweden now has the highest per-capita rate of gun homicides in the EU; 'the gun-murder capital of Europe', as dubbed by the Wall Street Journal. Sweden's epidemic of bombings - with over 500 detonations between the election years of 2018 and 2022 - has no equivalent anywhere else in the West. Migrants, minorities and the poor.
Failed integration of migrants, the emergence of parallel societies in immigrant neighbourhoods, and growing right-wing populism are problems which are hardly isolated to Sweden - these are issues facing most Western countries.
Trouble in Utopia is not only a book for listeners with a special interest in the particularities of Swedish public life, but also for those who seek to understand issues that are at the heart of debates and divisions all across the West. Sweden's trajectory from one of the most stable societies on the planet, to one marked by unrest and violence, must be carefully watched and understood as a cautionary tale for other countries.
