Until recently, there have been few attempts to incorporate Latin America into the contemporary comparative capitalism debate. Even more rare are studies that focus on the diversity of the post–Washington Consensus political economies in the region. Why do some economies seem better off than others? Is there any particular kind of relationship between institutions and economic activities? Ilán Bizberg’s book offers a new framework for understanding capitalist diversity and different trajectories of contemporary Latin American political economies.Hall and Soskice’s (2001) framework of “varieties of capitalism”(VoC) is widely viewed as a relevant approach for understanding economies at relatively high levels of development. In contrast to the neo-institutionalist assumption of a normative “one best way,” the VoC school made an important step to a more complex conception of development by showing that there are two different but equally effective VoC that have led to developed economies: liberal market economies with market coordination (eg, the United Kingdom and the United States), and coordinated market economies with strategic coordination by social actors and the state (eg, Germany and Sweden). Because of institutional complementarities, a particular form of economic coordination tends to predominate in a given economy, which in turn accounts for differences in socioeconomic performance. The literature spurred great controversy, including the question as to whether the framework could shed light on market economies beyond the core OECD countries (Feldmann 2019). The extension of a VoC framework to other parts of the world raises difficult challenges; while it seems impossible to fit all global capitalist economies into the binary distinction between liberal and coordinated market economies, identifying new typologies of capitalism may reduce the theoretical parsimony of the original VoC model. In this regard, Schneider’s (2013) two new varieties of capitalism effectively incorporated Latin American economies into the debate on capitalist diversity, while succeeding in maintaining the theoretical elegance of the original VoC framework. Keeping a focus on firms similar to the original VoC approach, Schneider deductively identifies two other varieties of capitalism based on distinct logics of allocative mechanisms: hierarchy and trust. The hierarchical market economy model, with coordination based on hierarchical
