Sweden: The Middle Way is a book by Marquis Childs, an American journalist, chronicling his research on the reform policies of the Swedish Social Democratic Party based on his visits to the country as a reporter. First published in 1936, the book became an international bestseller, attracting wide attention to Childs' account of the Swedish economic and social system. Although later discredited to some degree as overly sweeping in its generalities, undercritical, and for other inaccuracies, the book is still considered influential in the way Sweden is viewed around the world.

In his early 30s at the time of the book's publication, Childs went on to win the 1969 Pulitzer Prize in Distinguished Commentary, the first person to win that award. (en)
  • Sweden: the Middle Way (en: Sverige: medelvägen) är en facklitterär bok skriven av den amerikanske journalisten Marquis Childs, och utgiven 1936. Han hade studerat den politik som förts i Sverige av Sveriges socialdemokratiska arbetareparti. Boken blev en internationell framgång. Han såg Sverige som ett "mittemellan-alternativ" till två andra samtida ekonomiska system, USA med starkare marknadsekonomi och planekonomi i Sovjetunionen. I 12 kapitel behandlar Childs den kooperativa rörelsen, som han förefaller mycket imponerad av, det allmänna bostadsbyggandet och trenderna att förse framför allt arbetarklassen med billiga bostäder, industrialiseringen, statligt ägda företag, Brattsystemet, det vill säga den motboksstyrda alkoholransoneringen, förhållandet mellan socialdemokrati, kungamakt och storföretagsamhet, hur Sverige hämtade sig från depressionen, och även ett kapitel om Danmarks jordbrukspolitik. Boken avslutas med ett kapitel om möjliga framtida förändringar, där Childs framhåller att det finns en motvilja mot totalitära system: "Opposition to the totalitarian state, whether it be Fascist or Communist, is widely expressed", men ändå inte kan utesluta att Sverige, tillsammans med resten av Nordeuropa, går under i det annalkande kriget. Boktiteln har gjort att begreppet medelvägen eller ibland gyllene medelvägen blivit vanligt då man talar om den ekonomiska politiken i Sverige under tiden från 1930-talet och fram till 1970-talet.
