114. The engineers who built Sweden

We meet Rasmus Törnblom (M), PhD student in history at Lund University and municipal councilor in Lund, who wants to highlight the role of engineers in social policy. Törnblom talks about the engineer and later Minister of Social Affairs Sven Lübeck, who was a right-wing politician and important in the design of the Swedish welfare state, but who is completely unknown to many. He notes that the Social Democrats have been skilled at writing the history of how they built the national home.
