Comparative Economics
Appropriate for undergraduate courses in Comparative Economics, World Economic History, European Studies, and Interdisciplinary Seminars focusing on societal development. The text maintains a unique interdisciplinary approach that emphasizes the fluid, evolutionary nature of economics, while presenting additional aspects of economies not usually addressed in similar books. While integrating economic thought with economic history, it provides an alternative for students and teachers who wish to explore the variations of "mixed market economy" across countries.
The Palgrave Handbook of Comparative Economics
This book aims to define comparative economics and to illustrate the breadth and depth of its contribution. It starts with an historiography of the field, arguing for a continued legacy of comparative economic systems, which compared socialism and capitalism, a field which some argued should have been replaced by institutional economics after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The process of transition to market capitalism is reviewed, and itself exemplifies a new combination of comparative analysis with a focus on institutional development. Going beyond, chapters broadening the application of comparative analysis and applying it to new issues and approaches, including the role and definition of institutions, subjective wellbeing, inequality, populism, demography, and novel methodologies. Overall, comparative economics has evolved in the past 30 years, and remains a powerful approach for analyzing important issues.
The Routledge Handbook of Comparative Economic Systems
The Routledge Handbook of Comparative Economic Systems examines the institutional bases of economies, and the different ways in which economic activity can function, be organized and governed. It examines the complexity of this academic and research field, assessing the place of comparative economic studies within economics, paying due attention to future perspectives, and presenting critically important questions, analytical methods and relative approaches. This complements the recent revival of the systemic view of economic governance, which was accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic and likely even more the renewed East-West clash epitomized by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the Westâ€...
The New Comparative Economics
Abstract: In recent years, comparative economics experienced a revival, with a new focus on comparing capitalist economies. The theme of the new research is that institutions exert a profound influence on economic development. The authors argue that, to understand capitalist institutions, one needs to understand the basic tradeoff between the costs of disorder and those of dictatorship. They then apply this logic to study the structure of efficient institutions, the consequences of colonial transplantation, and the politics of institutional choice. This paper"a product of the Private Sector Advisory Department, Private Sector Development Vice Presidency"is part of a larger effort to understand institutional differences in the regulation of business.
Comparative Economic Systems
Comparative Economic Systems: Culture, Wealth and Power in the 21st Century explains how culture, in various guises, modifies the standard rules of economic engagement, creating systems that differ markedly from those predicted by the theory of general market competition. This analysis is grounded in established principles, but also assumes that individual utility seeking may be culturally determined, that political goals may take precedence over public well being, and that business misconduct may be socially detrimental.
Comparative Economics
First published in 1994. The reasons, methods, and outcomes of system change in general, and in Russia and Eastern Europe in particular are analyzed, using the analytical apparatus developed in the monograph.
Comparative Economic Systems
This text focuses on comparisons between the three major types of economic systems in the world today - capitalism, transition economies of the former Soviet Union, and the economies of the LDC's and developing countries.

Also discussed are the problems involved in the transformation of the former communist countries of Russia and Eastern Europe into capitalist countries. Developing economy coverage includes comparisons between China and India, the two largest countries in the world, as well as comparisons between Nigeria and South Africa.
