"An international and interdisciplinary group of authors set out to explain Germany's
and Japan's development of nonliberal types of capitalism by looking at the institutional
histories of the welfare state, financial system, corporate governance, and skill
formation."
—Business Horizons, January-February 2003
"The volume's contributions offer historical-institutional analyses of the evolution
of how non-liberal capitalism emerged in [Germany and Japan], paying attention to
the liberal paths not taken; how divergence between the non-liberal capitalism in
[these countries] can be accounted for; and what makes these systems internally cohesive."
—Kathryn Ibata-Arens, DePaul University and University of Tokyo, Review
of International Political Economy 10:1, February 2003
"This is an unusually valuable work on an understudied topic; ambitious in its
comparative, interdisciplinary focus, it achieves an admirable balance between historical
detail and schematic simplification."
—William M. Tsutsui, University of Kansas, The Journal of Economic History
63:1, 2003
"There have been many observations of and conjectures about the similarities and
differences of Japanese and German capitalism, but few systematic and interdisciplinary
analyses of the subject. The Origins of Nonliberal Capitalism takes us a long way
in that direction."
—Masahiko Aoki, Stanford University
