Great Britain, France, Germany, and Japan. Surveying the
development of the steel, automobile, and semiconductor industries
in each of these countries, Jeffrey A. Hart illuminates the role of
national policy in a changing world. Hart describes the global
structure of production and consumption in the five major
capitalist countries and offers a rich comparative history of their
industrial policymaking. He concludes that variations in
statesocietal arrangements-and the impact these differences have on
the creation and diffusion of new technologies-provide the best
explanation for divergences in international competitiveness. In
Japan, state and business are allied, but labor is marginalized,
whereas in Germany, labor and business are allied, and the state is
decentralized. Yet both countries have become increasingly
competitive because they have developed institutional mechanisms
for technology diffusion. France's state-led system, in contrast,
is linked with only moderate competitiveness. The decline of
competitiveness in the United States and Britain, Hart concludes,
may be attributed to state-societal arrangements that have allowed
one actor-labor in Britain, business in the United States-to
dominate policymaking. Rival Capitalists will be an invaluable
source for policymakers and business analysts as well as scholars
and students of political economy, international relations,
industrial organization, industrial sociology, and comparative
politics.
