Reviews
Praise for Structural Crisis and Institutional Change in Modern Capitalism:
"This book is historical-institutionalist political economy at its best." -- Wolfgang Streeck * ILR Review *
In the authors' view, all the major parties in France have given up on the traditional postwar "social-liberal" compromise that combined moves toward fluid labor markets, external openness, and EU cooperation with continued redistribution, social solidarity, and upward mobility. -- Andrew Moravcsik * Foreign Affairs *
