Erik Gustaf Geijer (1783–1847) was a Swedish eclectic intellectual of international renown.

Over time Geijer’s interests converged into a comprehensive vision of political and economic liberty. Here, he measures up well with scholars like David Hume, Alexis de Tocqueville and Adam Smith.

Freedom in Sweden thus introduces a pioneer in an era that saw the emergence of social sciences and was the precursor of modern society.
