Description: "Capitalism Reassessed provides a broad view of different types of advanced capitalist economic systems. It is based on an empirical analysis of twenty-one OECD nations. The book looks at the reasons capitalism developed in Western Europe rather than elsewhere and shows the ways in which cultural systems closely infl uence economic systems. The analysis compares the economic and social performance of different capitalist economic systems along a variety of economic and social criteria. It also analyzes how capitalism will change in the twenty-fi rst century. The appendices referred to in the book may be found at: www. swarthmore.edu/SocSci/Economics/fpryor1"--Provided by publisher.
