Capitalism Reassessed provides a broad view of different types of advanced
capitalist economic systems and is based on an empirical analysis of twenty-one OECD
nations.
The book looks at why capitalism developed in Western Europe rather than
elsewhere. It shows the close influences of the cultural system on the economic system.
The analysis compares the economic and social performance of the capitalist economic
systems along a variety of economic and social criteria. It also analyzes how capitalism
will change in the twenty-first century.
