Tracing the Relationship between Inequality, Crime and Punishment: Space, Time and Politics
The question of inequality has moved decisively to the top of the contemporary intellectual agenda. Going beyond Thomas Piketty’s focus on wealth, increasing inequalities of various kinds, and their impact on social, political and economic life, now present themselves among the most urgent issues facing scholars in the humanities and the social sciences. Key among these is the relationship between inequality, crime and punishment. The proposition…

Democracy and Prosperity: Reinventing Capitalism through a Turbulent Century
It is a widespread view that democracy and the advanced nation-state are in crisis, weakened by globalization and undermined by global capitalism, in turn explaining rising inequality and mounting populism. This book argues that this view is wrong: advanced democracies are resilient, and their enduring historical relationship with capitalism has been mutually beneficial. For all the chaos and upheaval over the past century—major wars, economic cr…
Democracy and Prosperity: Reinventing Capitalism through a Turbulent Century
Comparing Serious Violent Crime in the United States and England and Wales
This chapter shows how reasonably valid comparative data for violent crime in the United States and England and Wales can be derived. Comparative analysis of violent crime is hampered by a lack of reliable statistics, even between relatively similar countries, with doubts about existing studies suggesting that further comparative data are needed. Violent crime presents particular problems of variation in offense definition and recording practices…
American Exceptionalism in Crime, Punishment, and Disadvantage
This chapter sets a particular thesis focused on the institutional structure of the American political system within the context of a broader literature in the comparative political economy of crime and punishment. It then considers three possible objections to this analysis. The first argues that increasing American exceptionalism in the postwar period is to be explained primarily in terms of a distinctive history and politics of race. The next …
Growth Models, Varieties of Capitalism, and Macroeconomics
Lucio Baccaro and Jonas Pontusson make a significant contribution to comparative political economy with their approach to analyzing growth in advanced economies, which focuses on the demand side of the economy and distributive conflict. In contrast to Baccaro and Pontusson, however, we view their approach as reinforcing recent developments in varieties of capitalism rather than undermining them. We also believe that the type of modern macroeconom…
Crime, punishment and segregation in the United States: The paradox of local democracy
Patterns of crime and punishment in the USA greatly magnify corresponding developments in other liberal market economies – Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the UK – faced with similar broad macro-technological transformations, namely the collapse of Fordism in the 1970s and 1980s and the development of knowledge economies in the 1990s and 2000s. In this article, we set out the case for seeing these differences as largely the product of dynamics…
Politics for markets
We argue that the welfare state operates very differently in the advanced sectors of modern economies and in the low-skill sectors. Governments are concerned to promote the advanced sectors of their economies in which they have comparative advantage. This is a valence issue not a partisan one. Where companies and employees in advanced sectors co-invest heavily in company-specific skills, then governments will be concerned to maintain insurance in…
Democratic Limits to Redistribution: Inclusionary versus Exclusionary Coalitions in the Knowledge Economy
The knowledge economy, deindustrialization, and the decline of Fordism have undermined the economic complementarities that once existed between skilled and semiskilled workers. The result has everywhere been a decline in coordinated wage bargaining and unionization and a notable rise in labor market inequality. Yet, the political responses have been very different across advanced democracies. While labor markets for part-time and temporary employ…
Information, Inequality, and Mass Polarization: Ideology in Advanced Democracies
Growing polarization in the American Congress is closely related to rising income inequality. Yet there has been no corresponding polarization of the U.S. electorate, and across advanced democracies, mass polarization is negatively related to income inequality. To explain this puzzle, we propose a comparative political economy model of mass polarization in which the same institutional factors that generate income inequality also undermine politic…
The Transformation of the German Social Model
Market and state actors' responses to Germany's reunification and its economic repercussions partially liberalized its social model, increasing segmentation between a decreasing core labor force with job security and an increasing proportion of workers with atypical, less secure, and typically lower paid jobs. Collective bargaining was decentralized and its wage-setting role diminished, permitting increased wage dispersion and hours flexibility. …
Capital in the twenty-first century: A Critique
I set out and explain Piketty's model of the dynamics of capitalism based on two equations and the r > g inequality (his central contradiction of capitalism). I then take issue with Piketty's analysis of the rebuilding of inequality from the 1970s to the present on three grounds: First, his model is based on the (neo-classical) assumption that companies are essentially passive actors who invest the amount savers choose to accumulate at equilibriu…
Inequality and Redistribution: A Unified Approach to the Role of Economic and Political Institutions
Cet article explique la persistance de disparités dans les niveaux d’inégalité et de protection sociale au sein des économies développées en termes de variétés de capitalismes et de systèmes politiques. Là où le capitalisme est coordonné, comme en Europe du Nord, les systèmes politiques sont fondés sur le consensus et les élections se font à la proportionnelle ; la politique de consensus et le capitalisme coordonné se renforcent mutuellement pour…
Informal Social Networks and Rational Voting
Classical rational choice explanations of voting participation are widely thought to have failed. This article argues that the currently dominant Group Mobilization and Ethical Agency approaches have serious shortcomings in explaining individually rational turnout. It develops an informal social network (ISN) model in which people rationally vote if their informal networks of family and friends attach enough importance to voting, because voting l…
Coevolution of Capitalism and Political Representation: The Choice of Electoral Systems
Protocorporatist West European countries in which economic interests were collectively organized adopted PR in the first quarter of the twentieth century, whereas liberal countries in which economic interests were not collectively organized did not. Political parties, as Marcus Kreuzer points out, choose electoral systems. So how do economic interests translate into party political incentives to adopt electoral reform? We argue that parties in pr…
Real Exchange Rates and Competitiveness: The Political Economy of Skill Formation, Wage Compression, and Electoral Systems
A major puzzle in the open economy literature is why some countries have persistently higher real exchange rates than others. Even more puzzling is the fact that countries with high real exchange rates are strong export performers. We solve both puzzles with a model that integrates two central debates in the comparative political economy of advanced economies: one linking wage bargaining, incomes policy, and competitiveness, and the other linking…
Distribution and Redistribution: The Shadow of the Nineteenth Century
The authors present an alternative to power resource theory as an approach to the study of distribution and redistribution. While they agree that partisanship and union power are important, they argue that both are endogenous to more fundamental differences in the organization of capitalist democracies. specifically, center-left governments result from pr consensus political systems (as opposed to majoritarian systems), while strong unions have t…
Inequality in developed countries and Latin America: Coordinated, Liberal and Hierarchical Systems
The first half of this article explains the enduring disparities in inequality and welfare states across advanced economies in terms of varieties of capitalism and political systems. Where capitalism is coordinated, as in much of northern Europe, political systems are consensus-based with proportional representation (PR); consensus politics and coordinated capitalism reinforce each other in generating relatively low inequality and strong welfare …
Electoral Institutions and the Politics of Coalitions: Why Some Democracies Redistribute More than Others
German economic performance: Disentangling the Role of Supply-Side Reforms, Macroeconomic Policy and Coordinated Economy Institutions
Since unification, the debate about Germany's poor economic performance has focused on supply-side weaknesses, and the associated reform agenda sought to make low-skill labour markets more flexible. We question this diagnosis using three lines of argument. First, effective restructuring of the supply side in the core advanced industries was carried out by the private sector using institutions of the coordinated economy, including unions, works co…
Macroeconomics and Varieties of Capitalism
This chapter shows how production regimes are complementary to welfare state regimes and political systems, perusing a number of arguments which have been developed over the period since the original publication of VoC in 2001. These complementarities serve as a background for understanding a fourth complementarity which has not been discussed before in any detail — that between CMEs and conservative systems of aggregate demand management. This i…
Economic Interests and the Origins of Electoral Systems
The standard explanation for the choice of electoral institutions, building on Rokkan's seminal work, is that proportional representation (PR) was adopted by a divided right to defend its class interests against a rising left. But new evidence shows that PR strengthens the left and redistribution, and we argue the standard view is wrong historically, analytically, and empirically. We offer a radically different explanation. Integrating two oppose…
New Macroeconomics and Political Science
We review the use of macroeconomics in political science over the past 40 years. The field has been dominated by new classical theory, which leaves little room for economic policy and focuses attention on what democratic governments can do wrong in the short term. The resulting literatures on political business cycles and central bank independence are large and sophisticated, but they fail, we argue, to account for most of the observed variance i…
An Asset Theory of Social Policy Preferences
We present a theory of social policy preferences that emphasizes the composition of people's skills. The key to our argument is that individuals who have made risky investments in skills will demand insurance against the possible future loss of income from those investments. Because the transferability of skills is inversely related to their specificity, workers with specific skills face a potentially long spell of unemployment or a significant d…
Electoral Institutions and the Politics of Coalitions: Why Some Democracies Redistribute More Than Others
Standard political economy models of redistribution, notably that of Meltzer and Richard (1981), fail to account for the remarkable variance in government redistribution across democracies. We develop a general model of redistribution that explains why some democratic governments are more prone to redistribute than others. We show that the electoral system plays a key role because it shapes the nature of political parties and the composition of g…

A Modification of the CES Production Function to Allow for Changing Returns to Scale over the Function
originally proposed by Arrow, Chenery, A Minhas and Solow, the CES function was constrained to constant returns to scale. It has since been generalised to allow for any degree of homogeneity in the inputs. But the function is still constrained: if returns to scale are a when output is low, they are equally a when output is high. It is shown later in this paper that if this assumption is untrue, if what may be called point returns to scale are the…

Reinterpreting Corporatism and Explaining Unemployment: Co-ordinated and Non-co-ordinated Market Economies
What is the role of institutions in economic performance? Neo-corporatist economists gave a clear answer to one specification of this question: namely the role of institutions in explaining unemployment in advanced industrial societies. They answered that economies with neo-corporatist institutions, in particular with strong, centralised systems of industrial relations, were more likely than other economies to produce low unemployment.

Shocks to the System: The German Political Economy Under Stress
The German economy is recovering hesitantly from the sharp post-unification boom and recession. Two features of recent West German performance are novel: there has been an unprecedented loss of jobs in industry, and manufacturing profitability has been pushed to its lowest level ever and is now low relative to other OECD economies. Serious problems with labour costs and innovation would be expected to show up in a weakening in the trend of export…
Wage Bargaining, Labour Markets and Macroeconomic Performance in Germany and the Netherlands
Dutch economic performance in the 1990s has drawn envious attention from Germany: unemployment is low (6% in 1997 and falling), economic growth is strong, and its combination of low inflation and small budget deficit should allow it painlessly to meet Maastricht criteria for European Economic and Monetary Union. While similar economic results have also been achieved in the United States, the extent of deregulation implied by this approach has mad…
Divergent Production Regimes: Coordinated and Uncoordinated Market Economies in the 1980s and 1990s
The systematic analysis of advanced capitalist economies has had two main focuses. One has been the welfare state: this owes much to the work of Esping-Andersen in distinguishing three welfare state patterns in advanced economies (Esping-Andersen, this volume; Stephens, Huber, and Ray this volume). His distinctions have been widely accepted. There is less agreement in the analysis of the other main focus – and the focus of this chapter – producti…

Outlines a new approach to the study of the welfare state. Contrary to the emphasis on ‘decommodification’ in the current literature, it is argued that important dimensions of the welfare state—employment protection, unemployment protection, and wage protection—are designed to make workers more willing to invest in firm‐ and industry‐specific skills that increase their dependence on particular employers and their vulnerability to market fluctuati…

Applying the new economics of organization and relational theories of the firm to the problem of understanding cross‐national variation in the political economy, this volume elaborates a new understanding of the institutional differences that characterize the ‘varieties of capitalism’ found among the developed economies. Building on a distinction between ‘liberal market economies’ and ‘coordinated market economies’, it explores the impact of thes…
An Introduction to Varieties of Capitalism
This chapter outlines the theoretical perspective behind a ‘varieties of capitalism’ approach to comparative political economy, emphasizing the central role of the firm as the agent of economic adjustment and the impact of the relationships it forms in the spheres of corporate governance, labour relations, skill formation, inter‐corporate relations, and employer–employee relations. It develops the distinction between liberal market economies, whe…

We present a theory of social policy preferences that emphasizes the composition of people's skills. The key to our argument is that individuals who have made risky investments in skills will demand insurance against the possible future loss of income from those investments. Because the transferability of skills is inversely related to their specificity, workers with specific skills face a potentially long spell of unemployment or a significant d…
