The literature on changing varieties of capitalism concentrates on the big economies, particularly the US, Japan and Germany. This important volume sheds light on the group of smaller European countries that share a high degree of corporatism - Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland.

De discussie over het veranderende kapitalisme gaat vooral over de grote landen: de Verenigde Staten, Japan en Duitsland. Deze bundel richt zich vooral op kleine landen in Noordwest-Europa: België, Denemarken, Finland, Nederland, Noorwegen, Oostenrijk, Zweden en Zwitserland.
