Produktbeschreibung

'From State to Market?' is the most comprehensive and insightful account in English of the fascinating tale of two economic policy shifts in France: the expansion of the public sector in the early 1980s under the Socialist government and the program of privatization and deregulation, initiated by the Socialists and extended by their conservative successors, which followed. The book identifies important continuities and dramatic changes for the French state and statist patterns of regulation in other countries.
