Description

Contested Capitalism examines how political conflicts between landed interests, labour, and capital owners have fundamentally shaped financial institutions across fifteen developed democracies. Through focused case studies on the US, France, Japan, Austria, and Germany, this Routledge volume reveals that the institutional arrangements of modern financial systems are not inevitable outcomes of economic logic, but rather products of political struggle. The book challenges conventional views of varieties of capitalism by demonstrating how these historical political battles have directly shaped contemporary financial architecture, offering readers a deeper understanding of why financial systems differ across nations and how power dynamics continue to influence institutional design.

Contested Capitalism features focused analysis on five major economies: the US, France, Japan, Austria, and Germany.

Demonstrates how conflicts between landed interests, labour, and capital owners shaped modern financial arrangements and systems.

Published by Routledge as part of the Advances in International Political Economy series for academic and professional readers.

Challenges conventional understanding of varieties of capitalism through evidence-based political and institutional analysis.
