Despite the reversal of America's fortune from the triumphalism of
the Roaring Nineties to the gloom of the lost decade and the Great
Depression, theoretical conceptions of US capitalism have remained
surprisingly unchanged. This book departs from the American
political economy literature to identify three common myths that
have shaped our conceptualization of US capitalism: its reduction
to a state-market dyad dis-embedded from societal factors; the
illusion of a weak state and the synchronic conception of the US
variety of capitalism. To remedy these pitfalls, the authors
propose a civilizational approach to American political economy at
the crossroads between cultural studies, history, sociology and
political science. Drawing together contributions from a rich
variety of fields (from geography to cultural studies, political
science and sociology) this work sheds a new light on America's
"cultural political economy" combining theoretical reflection with
empirical data and offering innovative perspectives on the crisis
and renewal of American capitalism. This book will be of interest
to students and scholars interested in the dynamics of capitalism
and its societal ramifications beyond economics. The
multidisciplinary nature of this book also makes it a useful
learning tool for students working in American politics,
comparative political economy and urban sociology and capitalism
and society.
