    Depends how you measure inequality tbh. If you measure gaps between the average income of the richest 10% and the poorest 10%, the US has a 3x higher inequality ratio than Sweden. If you measure gaps between the top 1% and bottom 50%, Sweden becomes more comparable to America, and is actually one of the few countries to have more billionaires per capita than the US. Sure they got their succdem benefits and strong social safety net, but they're the biggest free market shills when it comes to corporations and CEOs
