这篇文章探讨了21世纪资本主义性质的变化，重点说明了支持和维持它的政治联盟和制度条件。大多数现有文献将企业性质的变化归因于市场和技术的发展。相反，本文强调的是推动20世纪合并企业转型的政治力量，通过企业作为“契约网络”，向平台型企业转变。此外，以比较的视角看待美国，突显了美国政治经济机构促进这种转变的独特方式，并加剧了相关的不平等。
This article explores the changing nature of twenty-first-century capitalism with an emphasis on illuminating the political coalitions and institutional conditions that support and sustain it. Most of the existing literature attributes the changing nature of the firm to developments in markets and technology. By contrast, this article emphasizes the political forces that have driven the transformation of the twentieth-century consolidated firm through the firm as a “network of contracts” and toward the platform firm. Moreover, situating the United States in a comparative perspective highlights the distinctive ways US political-economic institutions have facilitated that transformation and exacerbated the associated inequalities.
