Cosmopolitanism and Welfare Chauvinism in Sweden

Max Jerneck, Affiliated researcher , PhD, Stockholm School of Economics.

Jerneck will discuss the dominant paradigm underpinning the discussion of the “costs” of immigration. Most parties have accepted the idea that because immigrants, as a group, have a relatively high level of unemployment and get more from the welfare state than what they pay in taxes, they make up a an economic burden. However, Jerneck argues, through the lens of “functional finance” and a critical look at the dominating discourses, that immigrants contribution through taxes to the state budget is of little relevance for the Swedish economy.
