V. INDUSTRIES OF SWEDEN. A GENERAL SURVEY.
The assessed, Income derived from business or trade.*
The value of the whole of the real property in Sweden has thus,
as we see, increased, between 1862 and 1902, from 2,314 to 5,255 million
kronor, or has more than doubled. In agriculture, however, the
advance is but from 1,844 to 2,498 millions, or 35 an advance which
may even, to some extent, be due to a more accurate valuation (from
1879 onwards). In other real property (houses, buildings, factories, and
the like) an advance is manifest from 470 to 2,757 million kronor —
or nearly 500 %. That the assessment value of real property is,
notwithstanding, somewhat lower than the actual one, is shown below.
The Income derived from Capital and Labour proves to have
risen since the period 1866/70 from 160 to 765 million kronor — or by
nearly 400 %. The income derived especially from Business or Trade
has swelled from 93 to 416 millions.
This gives evidence of an immense growth during one generation
— even if some part of it may be attributed as due to a less accurate
assessment in the earlier years of the period. For recent years, we
are in a position to obtain a more complete view of the whole matter
by means of a valuation of the whole wealth of the country.
* For the years 1899, 1900, 1901 and 1902 the respective figures are 383, 415, 431,
and 416 million kronor: see Table 59.
