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.
