Synopsis
"At the heart of this latest work by John Braithwaite lies the insight by David Levi-Faur and Jacint Jordana that the welfare state was succeeded in the 1970s by regulatory capitalism. The book argues that this has produced stronger markets, public regulation, private regulation and hybrid private/public regulation as well as new challenges such as a more cyclical quality to crises of market and governance failure, regulatory ritualism and markets in vice." Regulatory Capitalism will be welcomed by regulatory scholars in political science, sociology, history, economics business schools and law schools as well as regulatory bureaucrats, policy thinkers in government and law and society scholars.
