About this book
Reviews
“This is a pioneering book that breaks new ground in the institutional analysis of capitalism by undertaking an in-depth, quantitative analysis of institutional heterogeneity around the world. It moves beyond simple dichotomies – such as market-oriented versus statist – to develop a richer taxonomy of institutional clusters in developing economies. The patterns of institutional diversity and experimentation identified by the authors document the malleability of capitalism and make a significant contribution to our understanding of the development process.” (Dani Rodrik, Harvard Kennedy School, University of Harvard, USA)
“The authors take on the very impressive challenge of identifying similarities and differences amongst the political economies of developing countries, both relative to each other and more advanced capitalist systems. This rich collection disentangles the uniqueness and diversity of capitalist systems in the developing world. It poses a challenge to pessimistic views of poor nations as arbitrary and often logically inconsistent systems of market governance.” (Nita Rudra, Georgetown University, USA)
“This book constitutes a deep renewal of our thinking on the nature of capitalisms in emerging and developing countries, as it builds a coherent and convincing theoretical framework that articulates these various capitalisms with institutional systems and political economy: an insightful and thought-provoking book.” (Alice Nicole Sindzingre, National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), France)Editors and Affiliations
