Tax and Growth: What Direction should Sweden Take?

In his lecture at the Stockholm School of Economics, Mr. Gurría talked about the ambitious tax reform undertaken by the Swedish government, which could significantly strengthen the growth capacity of the Swedish economy. He also presented the OECD "Tax and Growth" approach which holds that tax systems should not be used as an instrument to guide business decisions or put human lives at the service of GDP growth but rather be neutral and let firms and human beings flourish and realise their full potential.
