"This imaginative and ambitious book rethinks the nature of capitalism. Lippit critically examines the three main capitalist prototypes: the Anglo-American, market-driven version; the welfare-state capitalism of continental Europe; and the state-led capitalism of East Asia before analysing the common weaknesses of all of different strands. A provocative and stimulating read."--Publisher description.
