Sweden's most famous administrator grabs the reins of Sweden and starts to rewrite how the country does business. Everything is up for debate under Axel Oxenstierna; new economic policies, the courts, working hours in the chancellery and much more. We'll also hear about how he hosts Sweden's first trade conference, struggles with gout and finds time to grow a big family!

Here is the link to the metallurgy documentary on YouTube we mentioned.
