What is typical for Sweden are the high taxes and a high level of social security arrangements. But the economy as such is based on market principles and privately owned.

Democratic Socialism. Actually, Sweden is an excellent example that socialism can co-exist with capitialism, it works very well in your country. The U.S. is so focused externally that we suffer a great deal internally from a lack of public investment. Just look at the chaos in the aftermath of the hurricane in New Orleans. Much of the flooding and chaos could have been minimized or prevented with proper public investment and planning. Where are our national guard troops when we need them for an emergency, half way around the world in Iraq. The U.S. is a terribly mismanaged country.
