Swedish Welfare System

I would really like to learn more about the Swedish welfare system.

I am a Conservative who believes in free-market economics, but I do believe that capitalist society can generate situations of poverty that cause social problems. I believe generous welfare provision is a means by which the state can deal with these problems.

I believe the Swedes are right about removing shoes at the door; maybe we can learn some things about welfare from the Swedes as well.
