The development of the welfare state has been accompanied by
greater freedom being granted to workers in industrialized
capitalist countries. The themes of this probing volume concern how
governments, employers, trade unions, and workers have acted to
promote economic growth and accountability with active industrial
policies and forms of co-determination, worker self-management,
and/or employee ownership. The book's essays address the key
dimensions of economic, social, and political change in five
industrial democracies: the United States, the United Kingdom,
France, Germany, and Sweden. A major focus of the volume as a whole
is on economic management and workplace reform in a variety of
national settings.
"Managing Modern Capitalism" is divided into three sections,
covering strategies for industrial renewal, workplace democracy in
practice and theory, and future perspectives. In the first section,
each of the five countries are compared and contrasted in light of
their attempts to stimulate economic growth and reduce unemployment
under conditions of international interpendence of capital and
markets. Country-by-country profiles highlight the second section,
which also examines various forms of employee consultation,
participation in managerial decisions, and ownership. The third
section and conclusion evaluate prospective economic trends and
workplace democracy in the capitalist nations. This book will be of
interest to policymakers, scholars, and journalists, as well as to
advanced students in political science, economics, history, and
sociology.
