Description: "In Capitalism, Not Globalism, William Roberts Clark challenges both traditional and revisionist globalization theorists in his assertion that increased financial integration has led to neither a widening nor a narrowing of partisan differences in macroeconomic policies and outcomes. Clark shows that the absence of partisan differences is a long-standing feature of democratic capitalist societies, arising from policymakers' attempts to use the economy to guarantee their political survival."--Jacket.
