Latest addition in English has been a conclusions from a large research program on the social state sponsored by he Swedish Free Enterprise Foundation (from 1997). This paper is again relevant due to the political rhetoric about the "European social model". Latest addition in Swedish is a paper from 1995 reminding Swedes, a people who then thought that society consisted of only of economy and politics (and who insist on calling the state "society"!) that a civil society exists and is important for democracy and welfare. About one tenth of the planned work on this archive remains to be done.
