      abstract = {This book assesses the changing nature of state  intervention in the economies of the affluent democracies.  Against a widespread understanding that contemporary  developments, such as globalization and new technologies,  are pressing for a rollback of state regulation in the  economy, the book shows that these same forces are also  creating new demands and opportunities for state  intervention. Thus, state activism has shifted, rather than  simply eroded. State authorities have shifted from a  market-steering orientation to a market-supporting one.  Chief among the new state missions are: repairing the main  varieties of capitalism (liberal, corporatist, and  statist); making labor markets and systems of social  protection more employment-friendly; recasting regulatory  frameworks to permit countries to cross major economic and  technological divides; and expanding market competition at  home and abroad. Because the changes from market steering  to market support are so controversial and far-reaching,  state officials often find themselves making choices that  produce clear winners and losers. Such choices require a  capacity to act unilaterally and decisively, even in the  face of substantial societal opposition. As a result, state  activism, autonomy, and occasionally imposition remain  essential for meeting the challenges of today's globalizing  economy.},
