A diverse, complex, and stable, yet volatile system, capitalism
has undergone fundamental transformations over the past century.
Entrepreneurial capitalism has become increasingly managerial and
corporate in nature. No longer dominated by industrial production,
capitalist economies are now geared toward supplying services and
toward integrating the working class into capitalist society.
Individual companies have given rise to complex relationships
between state, economy, and multinational corporations.
Focusing on the structural shifts in advanced political
economies, this volume brings to light trends that occur "below"
the surface of economic activity. The essays identify the basic
patterns of those transformations and their implications--social,
political, and economic--for contemporary and future
capitalisms.
