Models of Capitalism: Debating Strengths and Weaknesses by David Coates
The literature on the character, determinants and relative performance of the leading industrial economies has developed rapidly of late. However many of the most important pieces of writing are now slipping from view because they were originally published in different, often inaccessible and highly specialised academic journals. These three volumes bring together those key articles and provide a new introductory commentary on the literature.This authoritative collection provides the reader with easy access to the full range of arguments now being developed to explain why some forms of economic organisation prospered best in the immediate past, and why some models now seem more effective than others in responding to the new global conditions of intensified international competition and rapid capital mobility. These volumes will be an indispensable reference source for students and researchers specialising in modern capitalism.
'Gathered together in this collection are all the main scholarly contributions to a set of crucial debates concerning the degree of convergence and divergence in the trajectory of modern capitalism, and the viability of different models of capitalismScholars working at the boundaries of political science, economics and sociology will find this three-volume collection indispensable for both research and teaching purposes.' -- Chris Howell, Oberlin College, US
Edited by the late David Coates, formerly Worrell Professor of Anglo-American Studies, Wake Forest University, US
