Helping "gazelle companies"
To create new jobs even in times of crisis, it is important to help the so-called "gazelle companies", the daily Svenska Dagbladet writes. Gazelle companies are companies that register strong growth over a period of several years. "A dynamic climate is marked by low corporate tax, protection against dismissal that is not coupled to the number of years a person has worked for a company, and a wide range of possibilities for private social insurance. The number of gazelles can increase when many people have to invest in new companies. They can grow when labour laws encourage competent people to change jobs and try out new things instead of jealously guarding their own place in the queue. Collective saving, penalty taxes on dividends and the principle of 'last hired, first to be fired' are characteristics typical of leopards. And they eat gazelles."

Insufficient protection of privacy
Protection of privacy is not highly ranked in Sweden. That is the result of a new study in which the British human rights organization Privacy International compares 37 countries. "Naturally there is are good reasons for more surveillance. The fight against terrorism is one of them", comments the political editor Anders Linder. ... But it is not OK for citizens to be subjected to the increasing scrutiny of the authorities without a critical debate on the issue... The right to privacy is a human right, and a society that does not respect it runs the risk of injuring other human rights. Germany comes out on top in the study. Obviously this has to do with the country's experience of a totalitarian system in the 20th century. Sweden does not have this experience."
