Description:
Surveying the development of the steel, automobile, and semiconductor industries in each of these countries, Jeffrey A. Hart illuminates the role of national policy in a changing world.
Review Quotes:
The body of the work comprises very good summaries of the ways Germany, France, Britain, Japan and the United States have handled their steel, auto and semiconductor industries. With these comparisons as evidence, Professor Hart argues that differences in national performance are largely shaped by the contrasts in the distribution of power among governments, business and labor.... This is a thought-provoking book, rich in material and clearly written.
