Just to make sure I understand you correctly: You think the strong trend toward more incidents of more extreme violence in Swedish society is because we have more dollar millionaires?


Income inequality universally is a pretty good predictor for violent crime: https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2018/06/07/the-star...

As the (still very low) income inequality is rising in Sweden(https://nordregio.org/nordregio-magazine/issues/state-of-the...), it isn't surprising violence rises, too.


More dollar millionaires, and at the same time more people on the outside, point towards specific type of policies being enacted.

This has been 30-40 years in the making.

Yes - it is related, just as it is in the US.
