{"product_id":"political-parties-growth-and-equality-carles-boix-9780521584463","title":"Political Parties, Growth and Equality: Conservative and Social Democratic Economic Strategies in the World Economy","description":"This book describes the contrasting economic strategies pursued by conservative and social democratic governments. The current literature on political economy maintains that, due to the globalization of the economy and each country's institutional structures, parties hardly affect the economy. Examining all advanced countries since the 1960s, Professor Boix shows instead that partisanship and electoral politics play a fundamental role in the selection of policies to generate long-term growth and economic competitiveness. The book reinvigorates the claim that democratic arrangements matter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carles Boix\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521584469\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521584463\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/13\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Carles Boix","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47422211686655,"sku":"9780521584463","price":101.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_98a1b531-cb39-4d88-8943-b8482fdefbf3.jpg?v=1761527551","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/political-parties-growth-and-equality-carles-boix-9780521584463","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
