The economic crisis that began in 2008 has underscored the
impact not only of embedded and assumed ways of managing the
economy, but also that present circumstances are the product of a
long period of experimentation and bounded diversity; it is
understanding the nature of both that forms a central concern of
this collection. This book redefines, develops and extends the
emerging literature on internal diversity within varieties of
capitalism, and the extent to which such internal systemic
diversity goes beyond mere diffuseness to represent the coexistence
of different logics of action within both liberal market and more
cooperative varieties of capitalism.
The collection is based on new, fresh material, from leading
scholars in the field. The contributors come from a variety of
perspectives within the broad socio-economic literature on
institutions, and yet they all focus on the limitations of current
institutional fixes, and the protracted and durable nature of the
current crisis, which, the editors suggest, reflect profound
changes in input costs and the utilization of technology. What
characterizes this common ground is an inherent pragmatism,
combined with an increasing sophistication in the usage of
analytical concepts; illustrating the progression since the early
work on comparative capitalism in the late 1990s and early
2000s.
This book should be an invaluable resource for students and
researchers of economic theory and philosophy as well as political
economics and socio-economics.
