This volume brings together leading political scientists to explore
the distinctive features of the American political economy. The
introductory chapter provides a comparatively informed framework
for analyzing the interplay of markets and politics in the United
States, focusing on three key factors: uniquely fragmented and
decentralized political institutions; an interest group landscape
characterized by weak labor organizations and powerful, parochial
business groups; and an entrenched legacy of ethno-racial divisions
embedded in both government and markets. Subsequent chapters look
at the fundamental dynamics that result, including the place of the
courts in multi-venue politics, the political economy of labor,
sectional conflict within and across cities and regions, the
consolidation of financial markets and corporate monopoly and
monopsony power, and the ongoing rise of the knowledge economy.
Together, the chapters provide a revealing new map of the politics
of democratic capitalism in the United States.
