Sweden's most powerful

Politicians of course but also some in finance and industry. 

  • Here he is—the most powerful person in Sweden: Minister for Finance, Anders Borg. Writes Fokus: "The other departments are obsolete and the banks are frightened. (Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt) lets this politician, who has never performed in an election, do whatever he wants. Power in Sweden in 2013 belongs to the one who's just been to the hair dresser." (Anders Borg recently cut off his pony tail).
