‘This book is certainly a thought-provoking and interesting collection.’
– Paul Bowles, Review of Radical Political Economics

‘This is most certainly a valuable addition to any library, and for those considering comparative industrialization or comparative industrial relations it is worth the investment.’
– Keith Grint, Reviewing Sociology

Capital, the State and Labour explores these transformations in eight countries or regions – the OECD, Eastern Europe, Brazil, South Korea, China, India, Malaysia and Japan – to examine the causes of this change and the likely prospects for the future. Throughout this volume, the emphasis is on production systems and their relationship to macroeconomic dynamics such as wage formation and the use of productivity gains. The authors examine the demise of Taylorized systems and Fordist macroeconomic regimes. In addition to the eight case studies, this volume features an introductory chapter by the editors and a concluding chapter by Alain Lipietz.
