Many societies use labor market coordination to maximize economic
growth and equality, yet employers' willing cooperation with
government and labor is something of a mystery. The Political
Construction of Business Interests recounts employers' struggles to
define their collective social identities at turning points in
capitalist development. Employers are most likely to support social
investments in countries with strong peak business associations,
that help members form collective preferences and realize policy
goals in labor market negotiations. Politicians, with incentives
shaped by governmental structures, took the initiative in
association-building and those that created the strongest
associations were motivated to evade labor radicalism and to
preempt parliamentary democratization. Sweeping in its historical
and cross-national reach, the book builds on original archival
data, interviews and cross-national quantitative analyses. The
research has important implications for the construction of
business as a social class and powerful ramifications for equality,
welfare state restructuring and social solidarity.
