Recenzje

'The authors are afraid of neither unpleasant topics nor big conclusions. The texts successfully deal with key institutional aspects of the contemporary American economy, and in this sense the volume is important both for its empirical insights and for its conceptual breakthroughs. … [the book] can be read by all interested political scientists as it is broad and accessible enough, and it should be read by all researchers in the social sciences who deal with comparative institutional analysis and the American economy as it represents a relevant contribution to these topics.' Josip Lučev, Annals of the Croatian Political Science Association (translated from Croatian)
