"This smart, accessible book surveys a vast and complex terrain
with clarity and insight. From the workings of monetary and fiscal
policies to debates regarding the welfare state, from the origins
of neoliberalism to consideration of the determinants of economic
development, among many other topics, Bandelj and Sowers offer a
lucid overview of key issues pertaining to the state's role in
constituting the economy in contemporary society. With clear
explanations, broad coverage, and a comparative emphasis, this book
will provide an extraordinary resource for teaching."
Greta Krippner, University of Michigan
"In a world where too many people really believe there is an
invisible hand coordinating economic activity, this book will come
as an accessible and concise discussion of the many ways in which
states are involved in the distribution and exchange of economic
goods. Bandelj and Sowers have written a welcome review of the
relationships that different state forms have with economic
orders."
Nicole Biggart, University of California
