This two-volume set draws together the core contributions from scholars of economics, history and political science in the field of comparative politics. These deal with the domestic political consequences of the increasingly important and volatile political economy. The first section presents the major theoretical essays; the second includes historical examples from the ancient, medieval and modern world; the third section discusses the implications for economic growth; and the last section explores issues in industrial-state economic policy.
