Two Swedish researchers, Fredrik N.G. Andersson, an Associate Professor at the Department of Economics at Lund University, and Lars Jonung, a Professor Emeritus at the same university, have shown once again that Sweden proves the world wrong about lockdown. In Spiked, they write about their new research, published in the journal Economic Affairs.

As was economic activity, forcing governments to borrow tens if not hundreds of billions of pounds each to keep businesses and furloughed workers afloat.
