Comparative Capitalism

This book is essential course material for students in comparative politics and comparative political economy. It covers a global perspective on the varieties of national economic models, their institutional foundations and the key challenges they face. * Anke Hassel, Hertie School, Germany *This is an excellent and timely survey of a field at last moving beyond advanced industrial economies to systematically compare the ways post-Communist and emerging markets function. It offers a clear and concise overview of the key debates and theoretical positions, introducing them without jargon and as needed through the case study chapters. * Alistair Q. Howard, Temple University, USA *Feldmann’s book is a masterful attempt to extend Hall and Soskice’s Varieties of Capitalism to political economies around the globe. It is highly recommended to all comparative political economy scholars. * John D Stephens, University of North Carolina, USA *
