Alternative Theories of the State

by Steven Pressman (editor)

This book presents alternative perspectives on the role and function of the state in the economy. The state establishes the laws and sets of rules by which economic activity take place, while protecting domestic producers from foreign forces. In a majority of developed countries, the state purchases more than one-fifth of the output produced in the national economy. With such significance, the state is examined from theories ranging from post keynesian to feminist.
