The Political Construction of Business Interests: Coordination, Growth, and Equality (Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics)

The Political Construction of Business Interests investigates the contribution of business coordination to equality and solidarity. This book recounts the development of encompassing employers' associations and the subsequent paradoxical positive effect of these associations on employers' views toward social policies. This research has important implications for the construction of business as a social class and powerful ramifications for equality, welfare state restructuring, and social solidarity.
