Reviews

This immensely stimulating book enriches our understanding of comparative and international political economy with new perspectives drawn from post-Keynesian economics about how and why growth models vary across countries and time. Bringing macroeconomics back into the center of the study of comparative capitalism, the authors skillfully weave economics and politics together to yield a distinctive view of the challenges facing the contemporary world. This is an illuminating volume that all political economists will want to read.

What happens when growth slows down? This excellent book contributes to a growing research agenda on economic growth, ranging from heterodox economics and international political economy to political science. At the core are institutional differences between national growth regimes that are interconnected in the global economy. Understanding those institutions and dynamics will allow us to better guide the transition from fossil-fuelled growth towards decarbonization.

Every once in a while, a book comes along that genuinely takes the scholarly and analytical debates in a field forwards. This impressively substantial tome is just such a volume, enriching comparative capitalisms analysis in bringing together an array of the world's leading political economists to explore growth models and capitalist restructuring in many parts of the globe. This will become a landmark volume that students and scholars of the political economy interested in the politics of capitalist growth in all parts of the globe will need to read.
