The American Political Economy

The book presents a novel perspective on the relationship between the state and the market, challenging the traditional view of their separation. Marc Allen Eisner examines how these two entities are interconnected and highlights the institutions that fall under the market's umbrella. By employing a historical lens, he situates American political economy within a broader evolutionary-institutional context, blending insights from American political development and economic sociology to deepen the understanding of economic activity's institutional foundations.
