The book's objective is to explore the challenge of thinking
methodically - in a theoretically and empirically informed way -
about alternative forms of capitalism. What are the most effective
ways to conceptualize the existing models of capitalism that have
captured the public imagination and are currently floating around
in the public debate? How can one mobilize empirical analysis and
theory in thinking about the realm of possibilities and about the
future of economic order, but avoid the twin perils of scientism
and historicism? This book is an attempt to respond to these and
related challenges. First, it delves into the substantive aspect of
the debate, taking a closer look at a set of particular forms and
models of capitalism that are currently discussed both in mass
media and in academic circles as plausible, or at least possible,
alternatives to the status quo: Crony, State, Regulatory, and
Entrepreneurial Capitalisms. By elaborating and clarifying those
models, it engages in a heuristic exercise that leads to a better
understanding of the task of conceptualizing and assessing, in a
theoretically informed way, the diversity of forms of capitalism.
Second, the book takes a step further, looking at the epistemic,
theoretical and methodological dimensions of the discussion: What
is involved, more precisely, in our classifying and theorizing of
capitalist systems and their historical evolution? What is the
epistemic basis for building plausible conjectures about the future
evolution of an economic system? What are the logical and
methodological parameters of our endeavors that deal with economic
systems, or with the problem of continuity and change in
comparative economic systems? Offering an original approach to the
problem of alternative forms of capitalism, this book will be of
great interest to scholars working in the field of comparative
political economy.
