In this book he addresses some of the key issues in this field: the role of history in institutional analysis, the dynamics of slow institutional change, the limitations of rational design and economic-functionalist explanations of institutional stability, and the recurrent difficulties of restraining the effects of capitalism on social order. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the classification of the \"Varieties of Capitalism\" school, Germany has always been taken as the chief exemplar of a \"European\", coordinated market economy. Streeck explores to what extent Germany actually conforms to this description. His argument is supported by original empirical research on wage-setting and wage structure, the organization of business and labor in business associations and trade unions, social policy, public finance, and corporate governance. From this evidence, \u003cem\u003eBringing Capitalism Back In\u003c\/em\u003e traces the current liberalization of the postwar economy of democratic capitalism by means of an historically-grounded approach to institutional change. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is an important book from a leading thinker and researcher in comparative political economy and key reading across the social sciences for academics, researchers, and advanced students of Political Economy, Sociology, comparative business systems.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWolfgang Streeck is Director at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies in Cologne, Germany.
