20世纪80年代初，许多观察家认为，强大的有组织的经济利益集团和社会民主党创造了成功的混合经济，促进了经济增长、充分就业和少量的社会平等。本书汇集了在先进资本主义政治和政治经济学研究方面具有强大专业知识的学者，从20世纪90年代后半期的Vantage位置重新审视这一叙述。作者发现，传统智慧不再充分反映政治和经济现实。发达民主国家以路径依赖的方式应对技术变革、国际竞争加剧、新的社会冲突以及既定政治动员模式受到侵蚀等新挑战。然而，这本书拒绝了目前普遍的期望，即“国际化”使所有民主国家在类似的政治和经济制度以及权力关系上趋同。资本主义民主国家之间的多样性仍然存在，尽管与第二次世界大战后经济快速增长的“黄金时代”不同。
In the early 1980s, many observers, argued that powerful organized economic interests and social democratic parties created successful mixed economies promoting economic growth, full employment, and a modicum of social equality. The present book assembles scholars with formidable expertise in the study of advanced capitalist politics and political economy to reexamine this account from the vantage point of the second half of the 1990s. The authors find that the conventional wisdom no longer adequately reflects the political and economic realities. Advanced democracies have responded in path-dependent fashion to such novel challenges as technological change, intensifying international competition, new social conflict, and the erosion of established patterns of political mobilization. The book rejects, however, the currently widespread expectation that ‘internationalization’ makes all democracies converge on similar political and economic institutions and power relations. Diversity among capitalist democracies persists, though in a different fashion than in the ‘Golden Age’ of rapid economic growth after World War II.
