Government and Business: American Political Economy in Comparative Perspective - Softcover

In addition to a historical perspective of US government and business, this work offers a comprehensive overview of current developments, theoretical positions and contemporary issues.

Richard Lehne offers a comprehensive overview of government-business relations, comparing institutions and practices in the United States with those in the European Union and other major industrial nations. He argues that present-day policies defining arrangements between government and business are not inevitable but result from the societal judgments of various eras. Recognizing diverse traditions and previous policy decisions helps guide the process of reform and renewal that nations throughout the world are now experiencing.
