About this book

This book assesses the changing nature of state intervention in the economies of the affluent democracies. Against a common understanding that developments like globalization are pressing for a rollback of state regulation in the economy, the book shows that these same forces are also creating new demands and opportunities for state intervention.

Reviews

In what many have dubbed a "neo-liberal age," the state remains surprisingly powerful, argue the contributors to an intriguing new anthology entitled The State After Statism...While not light reading, [it] is highly recommended for those with a strong academic interest in limited government and the evolving role of government.
