Some links to the, mostly, Swedish political/policy debate on economic growth, productivity, and financing of innovation.
There are no easy answers to higher economic growth, but I think there are many things Sweden and the Swedish public sector can do independently of the timing of EU initiatives like the capital markets union.
One thing I believe is that long-term Swedish capital, like pension funds, should invest more in Swedish startups to drive significantly higher GDP growth (with the same or higher direct financial returns to reteriees as today plus the value from higher GDP growth in other investment areas like bonds).
