In this book, nine scholars representing various perspectives
examine institutions that govern economic activity in the United
States and the dramatic changes they have undergone since the late
nineteenth century. They investigate how and why these changes
occurred and continue to occur as markets become more volatile,
technology changes and international competition becomes more
intense. They also address general questions about the governance
of capitalist economies by considering several governance
mechanisms such as markets, bureaucratic hierarchies, associations
and informal networks and by exploring how such mechanisms emerge
to coordinate economic activity and affect economic performance.
The first part of the book describes the important characteristics
of these organisational forms and provides an overview of
institutional development in the US economy. The second part
includes case studies of the institutional development of eight
economic sectors. Finally, based on data from these case studies,
the third part of the book tests competing theories of
institutional change in capitalism, develops a new evolutionary
model of the change process, and offers an original analysis of how
the state influences this process.
