Description
The Modern Corporation and the State in the World Economy offers powerful new insights into the relationship between business, government and international agencies in the world capitalist system.
Ray Bush and Morris Szeftel first examine the role of the state in the development of modern capitalism, particularly in the post-war period. They then focus on a variety of national economies and nation states to give a clear perspective on the uneven development of modern capitalism and the variety of institutional forms and political problems that have been created. The authors explain how the global character of capitalism increasingly shapes the circumstances of those who live within its influence. They show how scarcity and plenty, power and powerlessness, growth and stagnation, international debt and national economic growth are all linked to this global system.
The book will be essential reading for students of international political economy, international business and development in the departments of politics, sociology and economics.
