State and Economy in Contemporary Capitalism (1979) bridges the gap between practiced concerns and the abstract nature of theories surrounding the function of the state in advanced capitalist societies. Representing different intellectual traditions and ideological standpoints, the contributors are united in their attempt to understand the combination of political, social and economic forces which together have made the position of the state in contemporary capitalism so problematic. These are the problems of state intervention in economic policy of industrial relations and planning; those of public spending, collective consumption and the Keynesian strategies which until recently represented the main intersection between economic, political and social forces.
