POLICY AND PRACTICE - American Capitalism and American Democracy

POLICY AND PRACTICE - American Capitalism and American Democracy

This seminar presents – and vigorously critiques – a new edited volume, “American Political Economy”, which aims to reorient our understanding of US politics. Democratic erosions and economic inequalities, two of the most pressing political problems of the United States and its rich western peers, can only be understood in light of the economic, geographic, institutional and racial contexts in which politics are contested.
