Table of ContentsReviews"""In a striking work of revisionist political economy, François Godard draws our attention to the important roles that states played in the process of post-war modernization, especially in France and Germany. By showing how experts working for these states led social actors to new understandings of their interests, he challenges many conventional understandings of the postwar class compromise. Anyone interested in understanding how political economies are constructed will find food for thought in this important work."" Peter A. Hall, Harvard University, USA ""Based on careful historical research, this book argues persuasively that state leadership played a key role in the postwar economic modernization of Germany as well as France. Emphasizing the ideational dimension of state leadership, Godard recasts the meaning of “state capacity” and invites us to rethink the way that state actors relate to interest groups. His argumentation has important implications for understanding the politics of economic management not only in the immediate postwar period, but in the contemporary era as well."" Jonas Pontusson, Université de Genève, Switzerland" Author InformationFrançois Godard was awarded a political science PhD at the University of Geneva for a thesis on postwar institutional and policy reforms in Europe.
