- In Eli F. Heckscher's conception of the world, what he called “distributary systems” (ledningssystem) played a dangerously crucial role. He used this term to denote the means of transport, communications and power transmission, that is, in substance those activities which are commonly termed natural monopolies. Until the 1920s he believed that these monopolies could be held in check by potential competition and technological change. During the 1930s and 1940s he feared that the state would seize control of the distributary systems and develop a power unparalleled in history. He was afraid that the state in fact would be able to strangle technological progress and so eliminate any change that might conceivably threaten its power. Heckscher's nightmare was one of total dictatorship and utter stagnation.

The return of the "black books" : A unique, new source-material for reinterpretation of South Indian history
- 1991

- It would appear that all possible types of source material concerning pre-colonial and colonial Indian history had been found and analyzed only to be reanalyzed repeatedly, resulting in a number of macro-level studies. However, micro-level studies have been very rare. This may be so because many a historian of India believed that sources necessary for such studies did not exist as there was no tradition in India for keeping detailed economic accounts or even for that matter permanent local records of various legal and economic transactions. For scholars concerned with the early history of South India, the imposing inscriptions in stone have always been the primary source for studies on political, economic and social history.

Effects of the taxation of wealth in Athens in the fourth century BC
- 1992

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In the fourth century B.C., Athenians were often accused of avoiding their civic obligations and of concealing their wealth.1 These attested cases show that economic behaviour in classical Athens could be affected by taxation. The purpose of the present study is to systematically explore the economic incentives resulting from the taxation of wealth. The first issue is the effects of the property taxes on the relative attractiveness of different assets. An important influence is the incentive to avoid taxation, and it will also be demonstrated that the marginal rate of taxation could be quite large. In addition, the difference in treatment between citizens and foreigners will be investigated, as well as some implications of the irregular nature of the taxes on wealth.
