Ivan Bratt, around 1915

Ivan Bratt (born September 24, 1878 in Jönköping , † January 25, 1956 ) was a Swedish doctor, alcohol politician and entrepreneur, who was known for the introduction of the Motboken. It was a part of the Swedish alcohol policy named after him as the Bratt system .

Life

Bratt founded the Aktiengesellschaft Aktiebolaget Stockholmsystemet in 1913 and requested a license to trade alcohol in Stockholm , which he also received. A short time later he began alcohol distributors, wine shops and distilleries to buy up. He informed the finance minister that if he could buy up all of the country's alcohol production, the surplus would flow into the state treasury. Between 1917 and 1918, Bratt bought 98 companies and businesses with the money he had previously borrowed or secured through other contracts. Within four years Bratt managed to realize a private alcohol monopoly . He owned "five wholesalers, two housing companies, eleven agents, a distillery, Carnegie brewery , Astra drug company , Stockholm Grand Hotel and Svanens drug trade chain ". The first amount that went to the state treasury was five million kronor, equivalent to ten percent of the state budget. Vin- och Spritcentralen was created later and the Swedish state redeemed the shares.

In 1923 Bratt was elected to what was then the second chamber of the Reichstag for the Liberala samlingspartiet .
