Political Parties, Growth and Equality: Conservative and Social Democratic Economic Strategies in the World Economy

Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics

by Carles Boix

This book describes the contrasting economic strategies pursued by conservative and social democratic governments. The current literature on political economy maintains that, due to the globalization of the economy and each country's institutional structures, parties hardly affect the economy. Examining all advanced countries since the 1960s, Professor Boix shows instead that partisanship and electoral politics play a fundamental role in the selection of policies to generate long-term growth and economic competitiveness. The book reinvigorates the claim that democratic arrangements matter.

Aunque ha sido excesivamente técnico para un diletante como yo está repleto de contenido muy interesante.
