Varieties of Capitalism
'With this book Peter Hall and David Soskice are opening a new chapter in
the analysis of contemporary capitalism. They have succeeded in
bringing together in one compelling formulation historical-institutional
and rationalist-individualist analytical perspectives. The empirical applica-
tions in
Varieties of Capitalism
illuminate in a profound way how both
scholars and policy makers will benefit when they link macro- and micro-
level analyses across the many different sectors that define contemporary
capitalism in its many forms. Economists and political scientists, finally, are
able to meet on common ground. This book will become a classic in the
field.'
Peter }, Katzenstein, Walter S. Carpenter, Jr. Professor of International
Studies, Cornell University
This invaluable contribution to the comparative capitalism literature
vigorously argues against the notion of convergence so popular in the
globalism debates. The authors expand our understanding of national
"production systems" to see new connections and show that the differ-
ences among them allow countries to pursue distinctly different stra-
tegies of international competition. A must read.'
Peter Gourevitch, Professor, Graduate School of International Relations and
Pacific Studies, University of California, San Diego
'This book has been well worth waiting for. It demonstrates the wealth
of insights that could be achieved through Soskice's innovative research
program that began to change the agenda of Comparative Political
Economy more than a decade ago. The volume combines a definitive
restatement of the varieties-of-capitalism approach with illuminative
applications to the range of research areas covered by it and with some
fascinating theoretical extensions. Excellent!'
Professor F. W. Scharpf, Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies,
Cologne
