Edited by Barbara Krug, Professor of Economics of Governance, Rotterdam School of Management (RSM), Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands and Guest Professor, Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, Germany
Publication Date: 2015 ISBN: 978 1 78195 488 1 Extent: 1,648 pp
This book takes as its starting point the question of whether contemporary state capitalism simply uses different tools than earlier or other variants of capitalism, or whether it is an altogether new kind of economic regime. It brings together key research and commentary which will help to define the concept of contemporary state capitalism as an economic model and present a nuanced view of state capitalism in action. The editor has selected the articles on the basis of their academic merit, but has also included articles representative of the specific academic climate of a certain time such as Marxist-based concepts. Although these may look ‘out-of date’ or have been dismissed as unsatisfactory, they are nevertheless important for an understanding of the development of the debate.

A clear original introduction by the editor provides an illuminating guide to this topic and indicates new areas for further study and analysis.
