The state establishes the laws and sets of rules by which economic activity take place, while protecting domestic producers from foreign forces. In a majority of developed countries, the state purchases more than one-fifth of the output produced in the national economy. With such significance, the state is examined from theories ranging from post keynesian to feminist."--Publisher description UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0629/2006043411-b.html ER -
