Rising inequality, the advance of far-right populism, ecological
and climatic catastrophe and the scourge of global pandemic disease
- these are among the defining crises of our time. Addressing the
governing challenges posed by each requires a more expansive vision
of the scope and possibilities of state action than political
scientists and economists have furnished to date. In Statecraft and
the Political Economy of Capitalism political economists Scott G.
Nelson and Joel T. Shelton examine several key social and political
dynamics of advanced capitalism for insights into the fate of
equality, community and solidarity. In chapters addressing
divergent problems and spanning several centuries, statecraft is
presented as a conceptual lens through which the art and practice
of public action is continually rearticulated in response to the
shifting economic, social and political conditions of a given
epoch. The authors examine several consequential moments in the
long tradition of political economy in relation to the governing
predicaments of the present day, highlighting those predicaments
that bear upon the well-being of all people, especially society's
most vulnerable. The book thus reintroduces the creative and
purposive aspects of governing to the study and practice of
Political Economy, a field that has been too preoccupied with
technical, institutional and procedural aspects of economic
management. Framing problems of governing national and global
economies in relation to the craft of the state means searching out
continuities between capitalism's early promise and present peril.
