This book examines the political origins of financial
institutions across fifteen developed democracies, with focused
case studies on the US, France, Japan, Austria, and Germany.
The institutional arrangements of financial systems are widely
seen as a central distinguishing feature of 'varieties of
capitalism'. Through a wide-range of case studies, this book
contends that political battles between landed interests, labor,
and owners of capital have fundamentally shaped modern financial
arrangements. Demonstrating how these conflicts have shaped
contemporary financial architecture in a number of different
contexts, author Richard W. Carney offers an innovative approach to
explaining the distinctive capitalist arrangements of
nation-states. By demonstrating the importance of landed interests
to nations' institutional configurations, the book has clear
implications for developing countries such as India and China.
Providing a detailed account of the development of financial
institutions, this book will be of interest to students and
scholars of political science, sociology, business, finance, and
law. It will also offer insights valuable to government
policymakers, analysts at international organizations, and the
business community.
