Tocqueville's Revenge: State, Society, and Economy in Contemporary France

  Tocqueville's Revenge: State, Society, and Economy in Contemporary France  Jonah D. Levy  This book offers a new interpretation of the transformation of French economic policymaking and state-society relations over the past twenty-five years.

In so doing, it challenges widely-held views about the preconditions for state leadership and for a vibrant civil society. France has long been characterized as a statist or dirigiste political economy, with state "strength" predicated on autonomy from a weak and divided civil society.

Market-Driven Politics

Colin Leys


  Market-Driven Politics  Colin Leys  With the globalization of the capitalist economy the economic role of national governments is now largely confined to controlling inflation and facilitating home-grown market performance.

Market-Driven Politics is a multi-level study, moving between an analysis of global economic forces through national politics to the changes occurring week by week in two fields of public life that are both fundamentally important and familiar to everyone?television broadcasting and health care. Public services like these play an important role, because they both affect the legitimacy of the government and are targets for global capital. This book provides an original analysis of the key processes of commodification of public services, the conversion of public-service workforces into employees motivated to generate...  книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин With the globalization of the capitalist economy the economic role of national governments is now largely confined to controlling inflation and facilitating home-grown market performance.
