‘Numerous commentators have been asking whether capitalism is entering a new phase, defined by the decline of neoliberalism and its replacement by authoritarian or social democratic institutions. The Social Structure of Accumulation literature, which has long addressed the question of institutional change under capitalism, provides a rigorous academic underpinning for such a debate. This new collection provides numerous fresh perspectives on the SSA approach from a variety of academic disciplines. It will be very useful for scholars who are new to the SSA literature and to those who want to be updated.’
