Politics against Markets

Discover the insightful work of Gosta Esping-Andersen in Politics against Markets, published by Princeton University Press in 2017. This compelling book offers a thorough comparative analysis of Scandinavian social democracies, revealing how the destiny of socialist parties is largely shaped by their own policies and reforms rather than merely shifts in social structure, as often highlighted in earlier research. With 388 pages of in-depth exploration, Esping-Andersen combines quantitative analysis with historical case studies to effectively illustrate the electoral impacts of these dynamics. A must-read for anyone interested in political science, this book provides a fresh perspective on the interplay between politics and market forces in shaping social democracy.
