Massutmaning
Massutmaning ("Mass Challenge") is non-fiction book written by Tino Sanandaji. Originally self-published in Swedish, the book has been translated to Norwegian, and into English, published by Palgrave Macmillan. Overview The book consists of 20 chapters and describes the effects of migration to Sweden, starting in the 16th century but with a primary focus on the most recent waves of immigrants. The author summarizes statistics from the Statistics Sweden agency as well as public research reports to illustrate the socioeconomic effects high immigration has had, and possibly will have, on Sweden. Despite being heavy on statistics, the book is written for the layperson and is relatively easy to read. In the book, Sanandaji is positing the thesis that an ethnic underclass is forming in Sweden despite, or in some cases because of, the good intentions of a great number of integration efforts, the immigration policy of Swedish governments and the population of Sweden which is unusually tolerant. Although Sanandaji is critical of the prevalent trends in immigration to Sweden, the book rises above the rhetoric of the alt-right. The book is concluded with 25 constructive proposals to reverse the negative trends among them recruiting more migrants to emergency services, decreasing taxes
