Synopsis

This volume explores the evolving role of the state in economic change, a central and often debated topic in economics. It examines historical shifts towards and away from interventionist policies, from post-war reconstruction to the rise of liberalization and the dismantling of socialist planning. Ten contributors analyze internal factors shaping state involvement and its effectiveness in promoting economic change, also addressing the growing skepticism towards Neo-Liberal, anti-interventionist programs.
