“The Swedish refugee reception in 2015 was a minor financial success. It may be the kingdom's best kept secret”, states Aftonbladet's Petter Larsson in the article.
He has read a new book by the left-wing academic Peo Hansen, who argues that third-world immigrants will be a greater benefit for Sweden the more they cost in grants and other things.
Hansen, who is a professor of ethnicity at Linköping University, has come to this conclusion by using the macroeconomic education Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). It is a trendy left-wing ideology that states can avoid economic problems by simply creating more money all the time.
The book shows that a “large refugee reception” can “be a good deal even for budget hawks “, states Petter Larsson triumphantly.
” After all, government spending immediately turned into income for municipalities, companies and private individuals – things that do not fit into the narrower fiscal calculations. Thanks to these stimuli, growth soared, unemployment fell and tax revenues increased “, he writes.
